Hi...

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

During the autumn of 2013 after finishing the my first half ironman event (Outlaw Half) I wanted to set myself a bigger and better goal for 2014.  Having always raced for my own personal achieivement I decided that 2014 should involve some fund raising along the way and after thinking long and hard my "Tri 2014" challenge to complete 14 different triathlons in the 2014 year was born.

The charity was easy to select.  A work colleague and close friend of my wife was being treated at the Derby Royal Hospital and therefore the The Derby Hospitals Charity Fund and in particular the Combined Day Care Unit was the obvious choice.  

The hard bit came in squeezing 14 races into what ended up being a 20 week period.  After searching local triathlons i have planned the following races for the challenge:

		Swim	Bike		Run
Date	Race	Metres	Km		km
18-May	Southwell Sprint	400	18		5
01-Jun	Outlaw Half Ironman	1900	90		21
08-Jun	Broxtowe Super Sprint	200	8		3
08-Jun	Broxtowe Sprint	400	20		5
15-Jun	Buxton Sprint	400	21		5
21-Jun	Dambuster Olympic	1500	42		10
29-Jun	Woodhall Spa Sprint	400	24		5
13-Jul	Foremark Hall Sprint	400	20		5
03-Aug	London Olympic	1500	40		10
10-Aug	Erewash Sprint	400	17		5
07-Sep	Wild Boar Half Ironman	1900	84		21
14-Sep	Derby Sprint	400	18		5
21-Sep	Full Boar Sprint	750	21		5
28-Sep	Southwell Sprint	400	18		5
		Total			562km

As part of the challenge I will also be contacting my friends, family, work colleague and contacts to join me and take part in the Erewash Sprint Triathon in August.  As part of a team of three can you complete the triathlon and record the quickest combined time to be crowned the winner??  Further details on this will follow via twitter, facebook and here.

I'm looking forward to my challenge and raising money for a good cause...hopefully seeing some of you along the way!?!?

Thanks

Steve
