During the first weekend in August 2009, I will be attempting to complete the Double Iron UK triathlon. This event is for those of us with little or no sense and a desire to hurt ourselves - all in the name of sport and recreation! A triathlon consists of a swim, bike and run. The Double Iron UK triathlon is a 4.8 mile swim, followed by a 224 mile bike ride and finally two marathons back-to-back (52.4 miles). See I told you, you need to have a screw loose!
I will be doing this event to raise money for the local Andover charity - Testway Transform. I haven't set a target yet, but I intend to raise as much money as possible to help local people. I will be setting up a website to donate to directly from the comfort of your keyboard soon. Details to follow in this blog. Please give generously!
Over the coming months I will be documenting my thoughts and feelings as I prepare for this event in order to keep you updated about my progress. All support is gratefully received as I know that this is a physical event beyond anything I have ever attempted before.
For now, thank you for finding this blog and here's to success on the 2nd August!
About Me
- Ironman Pete
- My name is Peter Lewis and I am a professional trainer and coach. My expertise lies in the area of presentation skills, communication and creativity for business. I have over 15 years experience as a trainer and currently work throughout the UK, Europe and the Middle East. When I am not delivering training, I like to hurt myself by training for Ironman triathlons in my spare time. However, spare time is something quite hard to come by with two small children!
