So, it's unlikely I'll ever compete in a triathlon but I've decided to compose my own duathalon. I have extended my challenge and will be donning a wetsuit to join hundreds of other open water mad swimmers in the Great London Swim. On 26 May I will take the plunge into the Royal Victoria Dock and participate (substitute the word compete) in the biggest open water swim in the south of England which is predicted to attract 5,000 swimmers who will be organised into waves of approximately 300 starting the mile long course every half an hour.
A fortnight later and once my lungs have expelled any Thames water I may ingest in the effort, I will jump (well, perhaps not exactly jump, but my enthusiasm knows no bounds) on my bike and pedal the 100k Nightrider 2012 course around London.
I'm excited. Why wouldn't I be? Blue green algae worries me not in the least. I am accompanying my dearest friend as her body is pushed to the limits as she courageously battles the alien inside her. My body is to face it's own challenge. I am on a mission and will push myself to the max: to raise a serious amount of money in aid of two very worthy causes - Breast Cancer Care and Marie Curie. Please don't think twice to support this seemingly mad venture.
