Some of you already know I am doing an Ironman in 4 weeks time.

UK Ironman in Bolton:

3.8km swim, 112mile bike ride and a nice little marathon afterwards!

The cut off time is 18hrs – but I hope to complete it before then!

I would love to raise some money for the British Red Cross – if you would like to donate any money please click here:

Any donation no matter how small is gratefully appreciated. If you know of anyone would be interested in donating please do not hesitate to pass this on.

What time do you expect to do the bike ride in?

who knows ... depends how tired I am after my swim.

The bike course is also meant to be very hilly - it is one of the most difficult course in the world (apparently).

I did 126miles a couple of weeks ago and that took me just under 8hrs.

But the Ironman doesn't allow any drafting!

Hey good luck!! I did Sherbourne in 2008, I guess it's your first IM?

All I can say is relax, enjoy it, eat (1g of carbohydrate / kg of bodyweight every hour) and whatever you do don't push it on the bike!!! (you knew that already right?!) The feeling of finishing your first IM is just amazing, just simply amazing!

12hrs for my first one, like I say just the most amazing feeling.

I'll chuck in some sponsorship! Good luck!!

Let us know how you get on! And if you need any advice in the meantime just shout!

Cheers,

Simon
