On July 1st this year I am taking part in the Dragon Duathlon which is considered to be one of the toughest duel sport events in the UK at the moment. The event is basically a coast to coast cycle ride across Wales with a three peaks trail run challenge along the way (260km riding & 30km running). The ride starts from Swansea in the south and makes its way to Anglesey at the North and the runs go over Pen y fan, Cadir Idris and then the big one, Snowdon (after about 250km and hopefully no more than 18 hours).
Training has begun with a few problems already as I have had tendonitis in my foot but I will get to the end somehow!
I hope to complete in about 20 hours if all goes to plan, it will be a tough long day but also a great challenge which is why I thought it would be a great way to try and raise some funds for the 1st Micklefield scout group, which I am a leader at, so that we can hopefully take the kids on some kind of adventure of their own (what exactly depends on funds raised) . Scouting is a great way to develop children and give them self esteem whilst having fun and pushing the boundaries of what they are comfortable with.
I hope you agree with my thoughts and can spare a few pounds to put to this cause, thank you for looking, I will post a link to the live tracking page when I get the details.
