Triathlon 13/52 done.
Monday morning and doing my Triathlon. Not my usual routine, but there’s a reason!
This week I’m attempting three - Monday, Wednesday & Friday. I’ve got a two week holiday at Easter and thought it would be be really unfair to tell Sharon & Kids that I’m taking two days out during the holiday for this challenge. Of course they would understand and support me, but I’d feel bad about it. So I’m doing three this week to bank some so I have the holiday off and stay on target. As it’s Monday and I needed to get to work, I went for speed over substance. So it was a Triathlon entirely gym based. Same challenge, same distances but in pool, spin bike and treadmill. Hot and sweaty! I didn’t take any photos today because sweaty is not an attractive look 🙈 But 1 out of 3 for the week done. And 13/52 on the challenge done.

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!
