We did it!!!

[donkeyonthehorizon]

Thanks to all your amazing support and encouragement we managed to finish the Birmingham City Triathlon in joint fourth place for our category! We are both thrilled to have raised so much money for the British Lung Foundation.

Thinking of you all and the amazing work the British Lung Foundation will be able to do with the money you have helped us to raise gave us the strength to climb into the cold and murky lake at 7:30am and swim our hearts out. It gave us the will to go on, as we stumbled of our bikes, with tired and wobbly legs and immediately start running. You gave us the push for our final sprint across the finish line and the immense feeling that we had achieved something wonderful.

We are currently having a mad discussion about training to enter the longer triathlon next summer which involves a 750m swim 20km cycle and 5km run... So watch this space.

Hope you are all keeping well and if anyone still wishes to donate the page is open for another month:
