This summer I turn the BIG 50 - and have decided to attempt to swim/cycle and run my first full Ironman. 

For those of you who are not aware this is  swimming 2.4 miles (3.9km); cycling 112 miles (180.2km) and then running a full marathon of 26.2 miles (42.2km).  

I am not sure if I will make it - I have a maximum of 17 hours to complete the course in Kuopio-Tahko in Finland (the world's most northerly Ironman).

As a warm up I will be attempting: 

1. Edinburgh Marathon (running locally in Wharfedale) 30th May

2. Leeds Olympic Triathlon 6th June, Roundhay Park, Leeds

3. Brighton Half Marathon 17th June

4. Andorra Ironman 70.3 (half Ironman), 4th July

5. THE BIG EVENT - FULL IRONMAN FINLAND 14th August

Several other practice events have been cancelled, so I am hoping that these all go ahead. In the meantime I need to stick to a gruelling training plan and cut down the wine a little! Thank you for your support in helping me to attempt, and hopefully complete this massive challenge and to raise money to save lives in childbirth!

Best wishes
