Why did you decide to sign up for an Ironman?
I am a man who loves a challenge, and the physical challenge of an Iron Man will be the most difficult thing I have ever done. The inspiration comes from both my brother and sister The inspiration gained from my brother derives from growing up with a Junior GB athlete and the inspiration from my sister comes from her energy to compete in an Ironman herself.
No experience to date. I have completed a sprint tri and a competitive half marathon. Lots of work to do!
