First of all I'd like to say that the 7 Tri's in 7 days was like diving into a swimming pool with the aim of touching the bottom but not knowing the depth. However, taking part with three other slightly mad inquisitive and determined characters made it all the more interesting as to how far I could push my body.
Alongside this, was the fact I was raising money in my eyes ,for a very worthwhile charity."The Trussell Trust"which assisted with amongst other things local issues.
As Richard had indicated throughout the week it was a steep learning curve, with highs and lows, mine being the Swashbuckler half Ironman on Tuesday when without my "elastic band" running in front of me (Andy Brockway) I probably would have struggled to finish. Alongside Andy, help from Austin, Ivan, Wayne, Nicky , Scott, Shirley and Matt was invaluable.
To my times:
Day 1:- 7hrs 12mins
Day 2:- 5hrs 59mins
Day 3:- 5hrs 21mins
Day 4:- 3hrs 21mins
Day 5:- 2hrs 27mins
Day 6:- 1hr 27mins
"FORESTMAN ":- 11hrs 50mins (a PB.)
Total weeks time 38hours 37mins.
Who said tapering was essential for peak performance!!
Anyway its the day after and my routine has gone,back to housework,walking jazz the labrador and playing basketball with Jordan.Without my family and friends none of this would be possible .
Finally thanks to everyone who sponsored me
