My story

 

On the 20th August 2006, I will be taking on the challenge of a lifetime  – IRONMAN UK  .  For the uninitiated this means swimming 2.4 miles in open water, followed by 112 miles on the bike (with over 7500 feet of climbing) and then a full marathon to wrap matter up!!  Am I mad?  Of course I am - no sane person would ever contemplate such a feat of endurance.  Why am I doing it?  To raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.  My father John died in May 2002 after a prolonged battle with MND.

For the record, on deciding to take up this challenge my background in each of the disciplines was as follows:

SWIMMING – Would struggle to complete one length of the pool without drinking most of it!!

CYCLING – Not too bad, managed to complete the "London to Brighton" on a raleigh shopper complete with 3 gears and a basket.

 

 

RUNNING – One half marathon in 1985 and a few 6 milers.
