Frightened by my rapidly approaching 40th birthday, I’ve rashly agreed to enter Quest Wales, a one-day event combining a 17km run, a 1km kayak, and a 20km cycle. Oh, and it’s in Snowdonia, ie hilly/mountainous!

Anyone that knows me knows I’ve never even seen a kayak! I’ve had to buy a bike (and a helmet!) and I can’t run to save my life! Frankly I think I’ve lost the plot.

So, to help with encouragement, I thought I’d try & raise a few pennies for Help for Heroes, too. Any donations will be gratefully received, both to spur me on and for our wounded veterans. Thank you :)
