About Me

I've been taking part in Triathlons of increasing distances since 2005 when I took part in the Dorney Super Sprints and I've been hooked ever since. I completed my first Half Ironman last year and feel I'm ready for the big one this year. Ironman is a 140 mile Triathlon consisting of: 2.4 mile Swim (152 lengths of a standard pool) 112 mile Cycle (almost the entire length of the M25) 26.2 mile Run (the equivalent of the London Marathon) To be honest I’m a little bit scared of it but I guess that’s a good thing! I’ve always expected to finish the events I've taken on in the past but I have an enormous amount of respect for Ironman and I am expecting it to test me to my absolute limits. A big part of my motivation for completing Ironman is Tom Prince, the thought of Tom and his family make it all worthwhile and it often keeps me going when my body has long since said it's time to stop. Please read Tom's story opposite and if you would like to help me to raise money for the trust you can do so at www.justgiving.com/markdewey

Swimming and Kebab

I couldn't do any running or cycling yesterday as my legs were still sore from Sunday so I did my first timed swim - just over 18 minutes for 800m which is OK as I didn't really push it and just concentrated on my stroke. I decided to to treat nyself to a Kebab, well meat and chips and as it was before 10.30 I could eat in which was novel and it was served on plate with cutlery which was extremely bizzarre!
