Well after 13 marathons i have made the push and moved over to triathlon,been training running wise over 31 years but needed some new goals.Took up triathlon in 2008, doing few sprints and completing one half ironman.Had good year in 2009 doing half ironman and done the big one UK IRONMAN. I have also done Helvellyn tri down as one of the top ten toughest in the world.Sportive wise i have done all of the long hard ones in the uk including Fred Whitton challenge,Northern rock cyclone,Richmond cycle club sportives,Lakeland loop,Chemo classic to name a few.In 2012 my goals are,
