Ironman UK

Post by don »

With everyone being very excited and concentrating on the Racing 795 Triathlon Debut this week, I just wanted to wish Peter the very best for his big day next weekend when he tackles his first Full Ironman in Bolton. We'll be thinking of you when sucking on a pint later Sunday evening :D All the training, endless hours of work and hardship is now over, so enjoy and the very best of luck.

Thanks to all for the good wishes. Hopefully I'll have a good day out and next summer can revert back to normal races and leave the 6-7hr training sessions behind :D

I'll be thinking of you all when I'm starting my marathon as if things go well this will be about the same time as the last Tri795 competitor finishes and ye are heading to the pub. I'm gutted I wont be there to watch all the hard work come to fruition but I'm sure next year I'll be landed with some plum job.

I'm starting to get nervous now about how much training I've done - all those mornings when I stayed in bed rather than get up early and run before work. Since Jan 5th when my training started I've swam approx. 128,000m; cycled 3,150kms and run 960kms - here's hoping that thats enough :roll:

You can track me on http://www.ironman.com or http://www.ironmanlive.com - my race number is 319.

Jeez, I'm glad I'm not responsible for washing your kit! Well done Val- you've already done your Ironman!(Joke- am sure you know how to work the washing machine Peter!)
Seriously though- the very best of luck and am sure you'll be swopping tall tales with the other Racing 795 Ironmen when you come back....!
