Hi,
I thought the sight of me in a wetsuit might be enough to scare you into sponsorship!
As part of my mid life crisis, rather than saving up for the 2-seater sports car, I've decided to put my energy into completing a Quadrathlon in Norfolk on Saturday, June 27th. This involves a swim (1 mile / 1.6km) in the freezing, muddy, rough North Sea, then add a kayak (2.50 miles / 4 km), then biking (40 miles / 64 km) and finally the run (7 miles / 11.27 km) over sand dunes, mud flats and creeks. I hoping to complete this event in under 6 hours - then I'll be in the pub for the rest of June!
I've been training since January, my kids don't recognize me unless I'm in a wetsuit / running clothes / biking gear, everyone in my family is bored of listening to me discuss my aches and pains in graphic detail, the pros and cons of all in one lycra suits as opposed to separates and finding swimming 750 m in a freezing lake at 8.00 in the evening fun! So, thank you to everyone that's put up with me for the last few months - I'll be back to normal soon.
I know everyone's probably had enough of endurance event sponsorship, but I promise I will never do anything like this again, so however small, I'd really appreciate your donation - I'm hoping it will keep me going when all I want to do is lie down and cry!
Thank you very much.
