I’ve not posted about the Ironman in Nice before because I’ve still not entered. it’s likely to be my big event for next year as the big talk between the boys is relentless.

Originally Mark, Alex and I were going to enter but now Jon may be joining us after a colleague put up at £1000 charity wager!

With the thought of me actually doing the event becoming stronger in my mind I though I better give swimming a go. I want for a quick pool session last week but nearly drowned. Today I was more successful and managed 1k. On top of this I cycled to and from the pool. If the weather holds out I’ll be happy to keep this up!

    You honestly think that the ‘colleague’ is going to stump-up £1000, regardless of the time that Shabba completes the IM Nice in??

    Wake up mate ;)

About this blog

Welcome to the personal blog of Robert A J Ford, a professional interaction designer and developer based in the UK.

I started this blog in 2007 to record my cycle training leading up to the Etape. I've never been one for diaries but this format works well with my job and lifestyle so I expanded it to record details of other training and events.

As the blog grew it became a space where friends and family followed my activities. Their feedback has inspired me to keep writing. I hope you find something of interest and please feel free to leave comments.
