IronmanUK Challenge

Good swim time of 1hr.20 which would have been better but for a spot of vomitting on lap2 of the lake which slowed things down ... contributing to hyprthermia, meaning an hour and a quarter delay until being allowed to start the 112 mile cycle.

More misfortune as a broken bike chain meant another long delay waiting for the bike mechanic.

Despite all the delays he only missed the bike to run transition cut-off time by 40 mins. Arriving fresh and ready to go for the marathon, rules are rules, and he was not allowed to take part in the marathon.

GUTTED!

 

Thanks to everyone for the support, he's raised around £900 so far for Penny Brohn Cancer Care

Everyone’s proud of his effort and never give up attitude and wish him luck for the next one.
