I began the journey / odyssey / adventure / training to "tri" and become an Ironman back in October 2011 and the journey will hopefully reach it's culmination at Frankfurt in Ironman Germany on the 8th of July 2012. (after what will be 9 long months of training)
For those who don't know; an Ironman is a long distance Traithlon where I will do an open water swim of 3.8K (2.4 miles), Cycle 180K (112 miles) and then run a Marathon 42.2K (26.2 Miles) all within a time limit of 15 hours.
Ironman has been called the ultimate single day endurance event, and I can testify to that. It is a challenge of body and spirit - both of which will take an almighty battering during the long day.
I would love to raise some money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust along the way because as hard as an Ironman may be, it is nothing compared to the fight, determination and strength that children with CF display every day. They are the stars with real endurance and if by raising a few £s we can help make CF stand for Cure Found, then the efforts of everyone involved will be very worthwhile.
