Word up g's,

Next weekend, the 4th/5th of August, I'll be making my first foray into the world of olympic distance triathlon after many many months of sweating my tit's off in training in preperation for my debut in this, the sport of kings, invented by some bored swimmers in Hawaii as it happens.

Odds on I'll take the tri community by storm and wipe the table with the other competitors thus catapulting myself into international prominence within the sporting community, at which point i'll no doubt start my own cancer charity and make massive wods of cash selling rubber wrist bands that i get knocked up in a chinese sweat shop for £0.00001 a piece. Untill that day however I feel that I might aswell take the oppurtunity to squeeze some measly pennies out of everyone I know in the name of charity.

The cash you will / will pretend to have donated when talking to friends when i win this bad boy and become famous (delete as applicable) will be divied up equally between the London Traithlon Gold Charities (leukimia research and debra) so you know your hard earned spondulicks are going somewhere worthwhile.

So all you jonny shortarmsdeeppockets out there dig deep or sponge some cash off your mum and dad on the presumption that it's for a 10p mix and an icepop down at Nigel's News and Booze Minimarket and Insurance Brokers and get donating.

Thanks very much, take it easy.

Lots of love,

Leon.
