My story

As some of you will know I am doing my first Ironman on June 28th in Nice, France. As it is unlikely that I will do another one for a couple of years I thought it would be nice to try and raise some cash for my efforts.

After nine months of training 6 days a week and not drinking (!) I hope you will think it is worth sponsoring me for.

For those who don't know what an ironman is, it consists of the following:

Swim 3.8km (2.5 miles) followed by
Cycle 180km (112 miles) followed by
Run 42.2km (26.2 miles)

I am hoping to do this in approximately 14 hours or less (less hopefully!!!) And if successful I am then going to eat my weight in pizza, have a glass of champagne followed by a nice long sleep.

Again, as most of you know I am passionate about getting as many people onto two wheels as possible, and so have chosen a local charity that does some really good work in providing people with various types of disabilities the skills and confidence to cycle.
