Hello!

Page update:

Having struggled with a hip injury since January this year, I have been forced to postpone my race. I am now aiming to complete Ironman Portugal on the 21st October. Vamos!

Thank you very much for visiting my page. On the 18th June, I will be taking part in the Ironman Austria triathlon with my two friends, Ben and Tommy. The race consists of a 2.9 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride, and then a marathon. Between us, we have completed a handful of triathlons over the past couple of years, but nothing close to an event of this scale. I haven’t run this calendar year due to injury, and most of Tommy's cycling experience comes from wobbling about on late-night Lime bikes.

Historically, we haven't competed in triathlons for fundraising purposes, but for this event we have decided to raise money for MS Society. We've made this choice as in Autumn 2022, Ben was diagnosed with MS. Great strides have been made in recent decades to tackle MS, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to raise money for this brilliant cause.

Anything you can donate is hugely appreciated, and thank you again for taking the time to visit the page!

Rory
