Half-Marathon (Melbourne Marathon 2009)

Submitted by Greg on Thu, 22/10/2009 - 22:02. Keywords: , .

In case of doubt - always do it; and although I did not have any serious doubt, I did it. Beating all of my personal competitors I have completed a half-marathon! This will stay with me for life.

If you want to know more about the pain and the gain, the experience of agony and of joy I endowed myself with by successfully completing this race, then read on.

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.
