Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2005 a very good friend of mine, Anthony Hodges, tragically died of a brain tumour.  Since then I have done a few other events for charity but with this year being my 30th, I have decided to give myself a proper challenge.  On the 8th August I took part in the Mazda London (Olympic) Triathlon.  This involved swimming 1500m in the London docks, cycling 40km through the streets of London, ending with a 10km run.  (See the photos above)

COMPLETED: 2hr 39min 28sec (Position 186th / 506, 30-34 age group).  Results: http://www.triathlonresults.co.uk/London/ResultMale3034.html

As a warm up and a warm down from this event I also entered the following:

      18th April, Kempley Duathlon: 3.5 mile run, 17 mile cycle, 3.5 mile run  

COMPLETED: 1hr 48min 14sec (Position 18th / 41)   Results: http://www.tri247.com/results_8203.html

      6th June, Mazda Blenheim Triathlon: 750m swim, 20km cycle, 5km run 

COMPLETED: 1hr 24min 12sec (Position 454th / 2847)

      19th September, Newent Triathlon: 400m swim, 18km cycle, 5km run

COMPLETED: 1hr 02min 31sec (Position 27th / 168)

For me this was a serious challenge but I am doing it for a very deserving charity and in memory of a fantastic mate, so all donations are very much appreciated.
