In a moment of madness and optimism I decided to sign up for the London Triathlon on Sat 6th August 2016. It consists of a 1500m swim in the London docklands (I dread to think about the cleanliness of the water), then a 40km cycle with a 10km run to finish. You might know that I am quite a keen runner, however before I started training I had never really cycled any great distance and my swimming was very weak to put it politely. In fact, with a month to go I still do not own a bike or a wetsuit so I'm far from ready from the gruelling challenge that awaits!

Regardless, I am still really looking forward the big day. Paul Pester, the CEO of TSB has challenged 100 partners including myself to #beattheboss. He is willing to double his sponsorship for anyone who is successful. Despite this incentive there is absolutely no chance that I will beat him! Just enjoying myself and crossing the line in one piece is my aim.

I have decided to join forces with my branch at Leven in raising money to help the Levenmouth foodbank charity and the levenmouth child development centre. Both charities do excellent work helping people in the local community. So if you could spare any of your hard earned pounds for the Levenmouth foodbank and Levenmouth child development centre we would be most grateful. Donations can be received either here on this secure donation page or in the Leven branch of TSB on the high street.
