My son Lawrie is in Minnows at Shoreham Beach primary.

This weekend I’m going to attempt to make it round the full Long Course Weekend Wales event in Tenby https://www.lcwwales.com.

The event isn’t really a triathlon, as the swim, bike and run take place on consecutive days, but the total distance is that of an Ironman. So, on Friday evening I’ll do a 2.4 mile sea swim for the warm up. Saturday is 112 miles cycle around very hilly Pembrokeshire (3.5km of elevation…). On Sunday, with tired legs, I’m intending to get round the final leg which is a fairly hilly marathon.

I have to say I am very concerned about the cut-off times, particularly for the bike leg on Saturday. Training has been quite hard to fit in around work and the kids… I am aiming to complete the course, but if time restrictions turn out to be too tight (I recently discovered that only half of the participants made it round last time…), I’ll get through as much of it as I can in the time available!
