In 2002 i ruptured my ACL and MCL playing football and was told i would not be having an op on the NHS and could never play again (along with many other things!)... After doing some freeride / downhill MTB'ing for a couple of years, I starting to swim again in August 07 and thought, i cycle, i swim...all i need to do is run a little..how about earning a little money for charity and sign up for the London Oly! I went on to enjoy my first season in tri so much I have done a 2nd, gone sub 2:30 for an Olympic distance got round an ironman and am still going!
When not training I can be seen at the Boleyn Ground being a long suffering season ticket holder at the 1966 World cup winners West Ham Rolling Eyes

The Big Half - 4th March 2018 Mon Mar 26, 2018 12:37 pm hammerer

Not the brightest plan Ive ever had, a half drunken agreement to run a half marathon for a friends charity. Yer, what could possibly go wrong. They are easy right, only 13.1 miles. 3 miles in and it hurt, 4 miles in I thought it would never end, half way...wow Im quite quick today but this isn't much fun anymore. 8 miles in. Fuck i hate this. 10 miles, OK Im gonna have to walk a bit. 11 miles in, only 2 miles to go, I can do this. 11.1 miles in, I'm going to die. 12 miles in, nearly there oh is that a hill. no its only Deptford Bridge. No its like a mountain. 13 miles....sprint finish.......I'm sure it said 100m to go not 400. Never again will I do a half marathon without any run training. A personal worst, a horrible experience not helped by one of the dullest courses imaginable. 5km 28:01 10km 57:28 15km 1:30:44 20km 2:06:00 finish 2:13:02 _________________ Blog
