Virtual ride from Lands End to John O’Groats!
So, I decided to sign up for a virtual ride from Lands End to John O’Groats! I was a bit nervous as I was only a week post diagnosis of Covid-19!
It was a brilliant challenge, completing around 28 miles a day for 7 days alongside working full time and trying to catch up with my MSC! It was such good fun, working alongside a group of people, some of whom I have never met!
I tried to do most of my miles in the mornings, getting up at 6am and doing 20+miles before work! I really want to do this ride for real but it has just shown me how challenging it will be!

Race Report from Dan - Challenge Venice (full Iron distance) - 5th June 2016
I got into Triathlon 2 years ago, at that point the furthest distance I had ever raced was a 10km run. Once I discovered Triathlon, I had this desire to one day try and complete a long distance triathlon, often commonly called an Ironman. That day became 5th June 2016 at Challenge Venice.
Race Report - Windsor Triathlon - 12th June - From Andy
Windsor Triathlon (Windsor) 12 June 2016. Sprint (750m swim/30km bike/5km run) and Olympic (1500m swim/40km bike/10km run)
Only previous triathlon was Winchester sprint, which has a pool swim, so wanted to do a sprint distance with a reasonably straight forward open water swim to gain a bit of confidence. It's also won numerous awards (7 time BTF event of the year) and gets very good reviews.
David's Race Report from Ironman70.3 Exmoor 26 June 2016
Having done this race 7 years ago, I knew how tough the course was in what is labelled the hardest IM70.3 in Europe. The 56 mile bike course has almost 1500m of elevation and the off-road half-marathon run has a lot of climbing too….
