Committed trainer Alex "All the gear and a poorly ear" Anderson throws down the gauntlet to "secret trainer" Matt Allen
Having discovered my nearest rival Matt Allen did a full triathlon last Saturday in 1hr22mins, I am now a little nervous. Matt has taken secret training to a new level and has now also just informed me he intends to do an Ironman next year. So I'm up against it, but we are all looking forward to seeing Matt 'Live Strong' Allen breaking records tomorrow.
Sadly my preparation has been far from ideal this week, and it appears my open water swimming lessons have only resulted in a severe ear infection. The antibiotics have kicked in though and I will be present and correct - swimming hat and goggles at 3.30pm tomorrow.... Can't wait!
I am looking forward to the challenge and thank you to all of you who have kindly sponsored us, and if haven't yet please click below.
