Sadly I was unable to take part in my last challenge, the Tri-Adventure Sprint, which was supposed to be my eighth challenge. This was due to having surgery on my wrist to repair some torn cartilage which I have been suffering from for the last two years. I will now be looking to double up and take on two challenges in one month later on towards the end of my year of ultimate challenges.
This is something I was extremely disappointed about, as I was looking forward to the triple challenge of mountain biking, trail running and navigation. However, lucky for me and you, that event was the start of their new Spring series, with a Summer series not far behind, so I will endeavour to take part in one later in the year.

It wasn’t hard to get me out of my post-op gloom, as I have a lot to look forward to in my next challenge, which is truly a once in a lifetime experience - The National Lottery Olympic Park Run!
The National Lottery Olympic Park Run’s five-mile course weaves its way through the Olympic Park, allowing the participants to make sporting history, and be the first the cross the finish line in the Olympic Stadium.
The route will pass iconic, world-class venues like the Velodrome and Aquatics Centre and culminates in the first public access to the Olympic Stadium - the centrepiece of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
On the day, a host of past and present Olympic and Paralympic stars will be present, both participating and offering support, as the 5000 runners achieve their own sporting glory on the road to London 2012.
Bring on the Olympic track!
