My race is now complete - during training I covered over 2250 miles and climbed Everest 3 times. It all paid of with a very pleasing time of 5 hours 9 minutes and 58 seconds to complete the 70.3 mile course (1.2 miles swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run). This put me 184 out of 603 finishers in the British Middle Distance Triathlon Championships.

I would like to thank all those who have supported me both cheering me on during the race and through sponsorship. My efforts to raise money continue, so if you would still like to donate to help raise money for the Neuroblastoma Society that would be just great!

Neuroblastoma is a very aggressive childhood cancer affecting children up to about the age of 14 years. The charity's sole purpose is the relief of children suffering from neuroblastoma, and to achieve this it raises funds for medical research into improving both diagnosis and treatment of the disease. The Society also offers an opportunity for parents to give each other mutual help, support and comfort. The Society is registered as a national charity 326385 with the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
