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 Seven

Total Distances for Week Seven:

Swam: 120 lengths
Biked: 60km
Ran: 10km

A busy week at work equals a slow week training. Really going to have to allocate more time to train this week. Whilst in Devon I dug out my Dad's old Raleigh 5 speed racer and took it out for a spin with my friend Dave, a keen biker, who put me through my paces with a 20km bike ride over the VERY hilly, but beautiful Dartmoor. Wind blowing at what can only be described as hurricane force, I pedaled hard on the rusty Raleigh and at points thought I was going backwards. From the bike I went straight into a 10km run...more hills, rain and wind left me red-faced and with a serious calf muscle burn. A good end to a slow week's training. 
Until next week, roll on pain...
