Story

Last year I did my first 5K push and really enjoyed it so I decided to be more active this year and I found out about the Superhero Series triathlon. They describe it:

It's big. It's bold. It's gutsy. It's the UK’s one and only disability sports series for the everyday Superhero! For our very first event, we’re kicking off with three uniquely designed triathlons (swim, bike and push/run) that let you do as little or as much as you like. Team up with disabled and non-disabled family and friends to take on one stage each, or fly solo and do all three! Cape optional.

As it's my first event I'm doing a 400m swim, 10km cycle and a 2.5km push as I didn't want to over do things

As many of you will know, one of the reasons I use a wheelchair is that I was born with Spina Bifida. Because of this I'm raising money for the charity Shine.
