Sponsor me for the London Triathlon 2008!

Hey!

most people who do a trip around the world to attend conferences and visit universities spend their free time looking at local sites, going to local museums or just relaxing in the hotel lobby. Sounds kinda boring, init?

This is why instead of all that
I am swimming/cycling/running the London triathlon!

On the 9th of August I will do a 750m swim, a 20km bike ride and a 5km run. The funniest thing is that while most people train before doing this kind of thing, I am travelling, so I spend most of my time attending conferences (i.e. sitting) in the day and, well, ehm.., socialising in a not most healthy way in the night. So I am quite curious how the triathlon will go!

Anyway, here is your part:
Due to late entry I was only able to enter the race through a charity. This means, they give you a place in the event and you agree to raise some money for them in return.
My target is to raise 200 GBP (ca. 450 AU$), so I need your support.

Go to:

There you can find all the information about the charity I am raising money for. This site also offers you the easiest and fastest way to donate money.

Thanks for your help! I promise to bring some pictures that show me crossing the finish line in big pain - it'll be worth your money, I promise!

Cheers!))

Update:
I have successfully completed the race!
A brief report and the promised photos can be found in a separate post.

I have collected 210 Pounds for Barnardo's and have thus met and excelled the target.
Many thanks to all of you who have contributed and supported me!
