2017

A tough decision this year - no running because of a persistant injury I cannot shake off - nor can anyone else. Turning the negative into a postive, swim and cycle more and I found races called Aquabikes. Perfect. It consists of a swim and a bike and long distant ones.

River Adur 5k Swim - 1 hour 5 minutes - 1st in my age group - Great event
