24 Hour Team Triathlon WCT · 8 February 2013 to 9 February 2013 ·

Wessex Cancer Support provides free and local emotional support to anyone affected by cancer in Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight. Clients may have cancer themselves, be adjusting to life after cancer, supporting someone with cancer or be bereaved. We rely on donations to provide this support.

Story

Right, take 12 people with a penchant for self inflicted torture, a rowing machine, a gym bike and a treadmill and tell them they have to keep the machines in constant motion for 24 hours... Then tell them its a race against 2 other teams!!

I'l do the maths for you - 6 hours of exercise per person in 24, with the challenge of completing an average of 28km rowing, 24km running and 64km cycling EACH! For those that want to know, that's averaging 2:10m/500metres whilst rowing, 12kmh running (8min/mile) and 32kmh cycling...

I'm not going to be the best but its a team sport and I hope that I will be supporting my teamates at 3am as much as they can support me!

Its a difficult time of year to donate but cancer charities are close to my heart so please donate all that you can, it will help me at 6am when all I will want to do is stop!
