Christiaan's Olympic Distance Triathlon, London 2023

Challenge London 2023 · 5 August 2023 to 6 August 2023 ·
On the 6th August I will be taking part in the London Triathlon 2023 - this will be my second triathlon event of the year. I'll be doing the Olympic distance which is a 1500m swim followed by a 40km cycle and finishing with a 10km run. This will be my first ever Olympic triathlon so to spur me along I'll be raising money for Great Ormand Street Hospital Children's Charity and have set myself a target to raise at least £10 for every KM of the race - which I have already smashed so thank you!
I took part in the Bristol Sprint Triathlon on the 4th June 2023 which was my first ever triathlon! The atmosphere was fantastic and I really enjoyed it. A Sprint is half the distance of the Olympic so the Bristol Sprint Triathlon was a great race to get me started. I swam 750m, cycled 23km and ran 5km and exceeded my expectations with the time I managed.
These events are all part of my weight loss journey. I started the year with a little over 40kg to lose to get to what I feel is my target weight and the journey is going really well so far. I'll keep you posted with my progress throughout the journey.
