My story
Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page!
I am competing in the Bridge Midnight Iron Man competition( http://www.bridgetriathlon.co.uk/midnightman/ ). I will be doing a 2.4 mile open water swim, cycling 112 miles and then running a marathon all back-to-back. The race starts at 6pm on Saturday 18th August 2012 and goes through the night.
18 months ago I was alot heavier than I am now and could not run 50 metres. Since then I have shed weight and worked hard to train for this event. I will be a few days from my 49th birthday on the day of the race. This will be my first ever competitive race since school. In my entire life I have never swum more than 1 mile, cycled more than 60 miles or run more than 9 miles. Even people on triathlon forums think this is a tall order (or as they put it, "you are mad").
However I am driven to raise funds for a very good cause. My local parish has been a great source of comfort and inspiration for me and my family through some difficult years and I would now like to give something back.
This is to raise funds for the Eltham Christ Church Community Hall. This is a valuable resource for the entire community - and is urgently need of repairs and enhancement, including vitally needed creation of disabled access. Once renovated the hall be a focus for the community, providing a suitable space for events, classes, parties etc. The hall is attached to the Eltham Christ Church ( http://www.christchurcheltham.org.uk/ ).

I came 45th out of 91 who registered! Plus I beat the 69 half iron men too! I am realkly pleased! http://www.stuweb.co.uk/race/nl/
Back went at 9 miles - right knee at 19 miles. My back is spasming every minute - my knee is like a tennis ball. I was grimy so went for a bath. I overheated and nearly threw up! I cannot sleep as I am full of caffeine and sugar!
I survived! I even did a great time! 13:36 - 1:45 swim, 5min T1, 6:20 bike, 1min T2, 5:25 run. I am in TOTAL AGONY! More to follow on my injuries....
Its do or die time! I am going to finish this if it kills me! Weather looking good. All kit ready. A big thanks to all my sponsors - I intend to make you proud.
