Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On a health kick and for the challenge, I first began running about 2.5 years ago and last year I completed my first Half Marathon, Triathlon and Duathlon.

I decided that this year, as a further challenge, I would try to complete 10 or more of these events within a Calendar year.

Seeing as I may never repeat this effort, I've decided to raise money at the same time for a worthy Charity. Having been introduced to the Goldies last year by my friend Michelle Whiting to this organisation, I've decided to fund raise for them.

Goldies (Golden Oldies) - "Making a difference to people's lives"

Goldies hold singing sessions for the aged across the West of England and Wales. Their Patron is Sir Cliff Richard.

Check out their good work here: http://golden-oldies.org.uk/

My goal is to complete 10 or more organised events during the course of the year including Half Marathons, Duathlons, and Triathlons. I might even try my hand at an Aquathon, a pure Cycling event and some short course Running.

The biggest challenge I'm taking on this year is the London Olympic distance Triathlon in September using the same course as the 2012 Olympics. Many of the other events will help towards my training in this event greatly.

4/10 Events completed.

My current event schedule for 2012:
20120226 Castle Combe Duathlon 1/2 (completed)
20120311 Bath Half (completed)
20120401 Ashton Duathlon (completed)
20120425 Hullavington Duathlon (completed)
20120624 Bath Triathlon Sprint (completed)
20120729 Castle Combe Summer 10k (completed)
20120902 Ilfracombe Triathlon (completed)
20120923 London Olympic distance Triathlon
20121125 Castle Combe Duathlon 2/2
Only 9 on the list for now, I will update the list once I've chosen/entered found one more event ...

So please dig deep and donate now.
