For those that are not sure what this is let me explain: The Ironman 70.3 is a Triathlon or Multisport Event that covers exactly that distance of 70.3 Miles. It sounds way more bad ass when converted into KM, so I digress. It starts with a 1.9KM Swim (1.2 Miles), you then transition into a 90KM Bike Ride (56 Miles) and then finally transition into a 21.1KM Run (13.1 Miles). The Elite guys finish this race around the 4 Hour mark, which is absolutely mind blowing quick!!
The entry fee for the race is R2000 but my goal is to raise enough money to make a sponsorship toward the 'Ironman 4 The Kids' Charity (http://www.ironman4thekidz.co.za), which requires an additional R5000 sponsorship.
My training and progress will be closely documented on my blog and hopefully within 20-30 weeks of consistent training I will be race ready. The race is almost exactly a year away (51 weeks) and will be taking place on 25 January 2015 in East London. So once I reach race fitness it will be much easier to maintain until race day.
All I'm asking for is a donation/sponsorship whether it be small or large, personal or from a company, every cent counts.
If you are willing to make a donation or sponsorship please get in touch with me via one of the following channels.

Look forward to hopefully achieving the accompliahment of raising enoughoney and therefore being able to train and compete in the event in 2015.
Peace
