Matt's 2015 triathlon challenge
Matt Boulton is raising money for Young Lives vs Cancer
Story
I've never done a triathlon before having hated swimming as a child and never returned to cycling following a serious accident 20 years ago. So naturally I decided to do a middle distance (half Ironman) triathlon. I have no doubt I'll complete it even if I have to crawl across the line.
Along the way I'm going to work my way up three shorter distance triathlons and chuck in a hilly 85 mile cycle sportive. I may also do a trail half marathon. The Cotswold Classic tri won't be my final event, only the target for thinnest. In 2017 I'm going to run my first marathon (and maybe my second the following weekend) and maybe my ultimate target: Ironman.
To make this more challenge worthwhile and help keep me motivated I want to raise money for CLIC Sargent. This fantastic charity have given invaluable support to my friend Emma and her partner during her eldest son's battle with cancer.
