An Ironman Triathlon consists of a consecutive 2.4mile (3.8km) swim, 112mile (180km) bike ride and 26.2mile (42.2km) run. There is over 1500m of vertical climb during the bike ride. On top of the obvious physical challenges the average temperature on the day will be in the high 20&rsquo;s. I also need to complete the event in less than 16.5 hours to be classed as an official finisher. So, all in all, I think this should prove to be a fairly challenging day.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: JA;">The purpose of the triathlon is to raise money for Cancer Research UK. Cancer Research UK is the world&rsquo;s leading cancer research charity. The charity supports over 4,000 medical professionals in the UK with their research. Thanks to the supporters of Cancer Research UK, their work has helped transform the way cancer is prevented, diagnosed and treated today.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: JA;">I thank you in advance for your generous contributions!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: JA;">For more information on the charity and event please see:</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><a href="http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/">http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><a href="http://ironmannice.com/">http://ironmannice.com/</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: JA;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Corbel; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
