Ironman UK · 31 July 2011
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On Sunday 31st July Lisa and I will be competing in the Ironman UK event. The Ironman is a long distance triathlon that covers the following distances:
Swim – 2.4 miles
Bike – 112 miles
Run – 26.2 miles
The event will be taking place in Bolton and its surrounding countryside. The swim takes place in Pennington Flash reservoir, the bike is over three laps of the local roads and countryside and the run again is three laps but within Bolton’s city limits.
The event has a cut of time of 17 hours, if you are still out there after that time then you have not made it. We are hoping to finish the course in under 17 hours, maybe quicker but who knows what the day holds in store for us.
We often get asked “why are you doing it?” but this is a tough question to answer as there are so many reasons but my favourite is simply “why not”.
Along the way on our journey to be ‘Ironmen’ we would like to raise some money for two charities – Help for Heroes and Cancer Research. Both of these charities do some outstanding work in their respective fields and any money you can donate to their phenomenal cause would be greatly appreciated and would give us that extra bit of motivation for crossing the line.
