My personal message:

OK so the long and short of it, twas a fuzzy winter evening in a classic English boozer and someone challenged me to bet, and I took the bait.

The conversation went something along the lines of this.....

So called friend: "Gooders, you lard arse... I bet you £100 you couldnt do the London Triathlon."

Gooders: "Bit of swimming, pedalling (I can free ride that), and a short run...... Easy."

So called friend: "No you couldnt"

A few pints later.....

Gooders: "Burp.....If everyone round the table bets against me £100. I'll do it... Bring it on!!!"

So called friends in a triumphant throng: "DONE!"

Gooders: "Whooops"

So thats the story of how I ended up signing up for an Olympic Triathlon. Ahhhh.. its only:

1.5 km Swim

40km Bike

10km Run

Televised

So I decided to run for a charity close to my heart. My dear old Grampa Gooders suffered from blindness in his later years and never had the chance to see my younger brothers and sisters.

So if you could dig deep and help me reach my target that would be great.

Cheers,

Gooders
