Elephants everywhere 🤷♂️
Triathlon 12 / 52 done.
Started swim at 5.30am, so quiet roads for my first outdoor cycle of this challenge. I never expected to see an elephant on my journey, but I guess it’s a normal thing for me now 🤷♂️
The cycle outdoors definitely harder and longer than on the turbo at home due to traffic lights, hills, wind, cars etc, but sooooo much nicer.
I’m out of my fifties and now into my forties - getting younger with each one!

Triathlon 52 - 52x52 Challenge
A short blog to end; Triathlon 52/52 done. So pleased it’s over. Lots of money raised for the Starr Trust and I really hope it continues as there are so many young people who need our help.
Triathlon 51 - 52x52 Challenge
That was one of the hardest yet both physically and mentally. Physically because my back is still in muscle spasm, caused by a Crohn's flare up that needed rest but didn’t get it. Mentally because the whole triathlon was done gym based, which meant no sea, no air, no trees, no birds - just a clock telling me I’ve hardly started!
