Yes, Ol' Goggle Eyes is back and this time it's serious. Times are hard I know and the giving ain't easy but to encourage you to dig in for a good cause I am redoubling my efforts on last year. Not only twice the distance but also twice the races. This year I will be doing the Olympic Distance races at Windsor and Bedford on June 14th and July 19th, both to raise money for Leukaemia Research and to raise my own heartbeat. That's 1500 metres of swimming up river (twice), 40 km of cycling (twice) and 10 km of running (the horror the horror - twice) Make that three times. Since I qualified for the European Championships it's all got a bit intense. I went out to Holten, Holland for the 4th July and I was very happy to come 11th in my age group of the best triathletes in Europe. Next challenge - finding some water in the Bedford swim - apparently it gets pretty down and dirty in the Ouse. Meanwhile... Please will you spend a few minutes and few pounds of your very hard earned cash on a very worthwhile cause through this page, notwithstanding my deluded world-beating ambitions. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Leukaemia Research gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. So please sponsor me now!
