Me and 6 friends are going to be taking on an Olympic distance triathlon event on the 25th of May, this comprises:

- 1.5k open water swim

- 40k cycle

- 10k run

As a mediocre runner, sporadic cyclist, and abysmal swimmer this is a big challenge. The swim is going to be very interesting.

I am lucky enough to not have had a charity have played a big part in my life so far, but it’s a great fundraising opportunity - so why not raise money for Haven House our COTY.

Anyone who knows me knows the pain I will experience laying off the beers (ok not completely off) to finish the 20 weeks of training.

Any donations for a great cause will be met with horrific updates on my swimming technique.
