Swam 350 lengths
Biked 65km
Ran 32km
I Noticed a fellow swimmer in the pool this week swimming like a torpedo through the water and thought to my self, now that's how i need to be swimming! After a short chat with ex pro swimmer before he raced off again for another blistering length, he kindly gave me a few handy tips. The tips included, keep your elbow high, relax your shoulder roll and concentrate on the efficiency of your stroke. My swimming instantly improved, i am still not a torpedo, but a welcome improvement!. The following session i completed 170 lengths in 1hr 25mins, and now confident i have the swim sorted! Keeping the momentum going i decided to test the limits of my running and the next day wished i hadn't! I ran 22km in 1hr 55mins and i won't lie it was tough, still feeling sore three days later. Going to focus on my running this week, so until next time, roll on pain!

It began as banter in a curry house...
I am training for Iron man
About Me
- Simon Bawden
- What started as banter in a curry house... ended up as me entering Iron Man 2011 in Nice; a triathlon consisting of a 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) bike and a marathon (26.2 miles, 42.195 km) run, raced in that order and without a break. So I dug out the arm bands, attached the stabilisers and dusted off the muddy trainers and training has begun... While putting myself through this torture I thought it would be a good idea to raise money for a worthwhile cause. The charity I have chosen is The Cystic Fibrosis Trust. www.cftrust.org.uk If you would like to sponsor me in my feat and give money to the CF Trust, you can donate at the link below. www.justgiving.com/Simon-Bawden
