About Me

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

Week Nine

Swam  120 lengths
Biked  80 km
Ran 40km

Increased the bike and run distances this week and found that the running really saps a lot of your energy, and leaves your muscles very sore the next day.  Going to have to start building a training schedule that incorporates rest days for each discipline.  Another thing i will struggle with is there are not enough hours in the evening to complete enough training to progress, this will inevitably mean getting up early to fit in an extra training session, and we all know i am no good at mornings!  oh well here goes ... until next week....Roll on Pain!!
