Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Well I've gone and done it now (gulp)! After progressing up to Half Ironman distance triathlons in 2013, I have decided to 'take the plunge' and go for the Full Ironman distance in 2014. For those who are not aware, this invloves a 2.4mile swim followed by a 112mile cycle and finally a 26.2mile (marathon) run, one after the other.

BUT, being who I am and if that was not enough, I have decided to enter the Rat Race 'City to Summit' triathlon. As a part of this event, the swim will be under the Forth Road Bridge at Queensferry, the cycle will be from here in Edinburgh to Glencoe in the Highlands, and the marathon run, from here to Fort William, will include the ascent and descent of Ben Nevis.............! 

My chosen charity will be the Wiltshire Air Ambulance who rely totally on charitable donations. Thank you for sponsoring me. Its a long way off now, but it will be here before we know it. [ Its only 33wks after all]

Wish me luck

ps I believe that a special mention is due to Billy Vosnakis and Roland Kelly who are incredible individuals - and my inspiration.... and to Luke, Darren, Rich, Hayden, Viki, Nichola and Kirk [as well as the members of Hot Chilli Tri Club] to name a few - down-to-earth ironmen and triathletes, that help me to realise you can have fun too!
