So, here's the reason for this madness...

I've been lucky enough to gain a place in the PruHealth World Triathlon final event in London this September www.london.triathlon.org

This gives amateur triathletes the chance to complete alongside the world elite on the 2012 Olympic course in and around Hyde Park, starting off with a 1.5km swim in the Serpentine, a 40k bike leg then a 10k run

Now I don't think the Brownlee brothers have much to worry about, but I'm going to give it everything in order to raise some money for an amazing cause - Marie Curie Cancer Care

Their nurses provide hands on help for thousands of families dealing with the consequences of this disease and every penny you can spare will be hugely appreciated by them and also Marie Curie's team of researchers

Using JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure, and once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to Marie Curie - so go for it

Thanks so much for your support, and if anyone has any tips on how to get a wetsuit off quickly then let me know...

Cheers

Jamie
