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 26 (Tapering)

Swam 100 lengths
Biked 40km
Ran 5km

Into my last week of training and the tapering down stage, giving my muscles time to recover ready for the big day,  sorry for my lack of blogging in the last few weeks but trying to get ready for the Ironman and working, its been pretty manic. As I sit in my apartment in Nice with the big day tomorrow its been quite a journey and as I said before all I have to do now is pick up my medal : )  No matter the outcome thank you so so much to my family and friends for all your support and kind and generous donations to my chosen charity, I hope to make you all very proud, and will be thinking of you all when I have to dig deep to get me over that finish line,  wish me luck!!    Role on EXTREME Pain ; ) x
