Story

People like us ARENT SUPPOSED to do triathlons.

However I was dared to do it by a friend (Charlie...), like me he lost sight of his toes over Xmas and (stupidly) signed us up for this.

...and despite trying MANY times to find excuses, am all set to do a SPRINT TRIATHLON on 7th August.

Sometimes I cycle to work, I rarely swim (although I have been known to sit in a jacouzzi from time to time) & I run occassionally about 30 metres on a football pitch

On 7th August; we are swimming 750m, running 5km, & cycling 20km….

We will likely a) look stupid in a tight wetsuit b) suffer heavily for trying & c)finish in the bottom half of the group.

I know you all get a million requests but it would be great if you could sponsor me for doing it..

We have chosen WHIZZ KIDS. Both being relatively new fathers we think its a great cause.

Thanks and promise to update you as/if/when we finish..
