The New Challenges

In 2012 Tracey and I embarked on a series of challenges to raise money for The Haemophilia Society. We had great fun doing it and both felt very fit. So, as we both were slogging up the Mound in the Edinburgh 10 mile run recently, we remarked on how unfit we both were compared to then!

And so Two Tackle Three was resurrected!

Two Tackle Three Take Two (AKA 2T3T2) will see us take on three new challenges each which are crazier and tougher than the first three (although Ventoux was quite tough). We will raise money for an Edinburgh Charity called The Yard. The Yard is a purpose built indoor and outdoor adventure playground for children and young people with disabilities.

Tracey and I have a few links with this amazing facility. One being it has close links with the Childhood Practice Team at Edinburgh College and the second being my late husband, Alistair was involved in providing the yard with their cut down working traffic light, through the BBC Children in Need project, The Big Build.

So Tracey's challenges are -

St Mary Loch Standard Distance Triathlon, Aberfeldy Half Ironman, Glencoe Half Marathon.

And Jane's are -

Windermere Half Marathon, The Moonwalk and the Glencoe Marathon.

We will also be taking part in a variety of other events in preparation for our big challenges.

Our blog will make a welcome return, so you can keep up with our training antics! So please keep up to date. We will let you know soon how you can sponsor us to raise a shed load of cash for The Yard.

Today was my "learn how to be a diabetic" training day. A whole days info etc about diabetes and what I should be doing. You will be very impressed to hear this did not interfere with my training in any way. I was up early again and off to the pool before class started. No idea how many lengths,as I just lose count, but just kept going for 30 mins, then I cycled to the venue. Probably only about 3 or 4 miles, so that doesn't really count, but it did get me thinking about the triathlon and how tough it's going to be to do all three events one after the other! Lots more training required!

    You will definitely have to practice some bricks! The worst one is the bike to run (you really don't feel like your legs belong to you any more). You can tell me all about your learn to be a diabetic day :)

    Just trying to pace myself! No point in doing too much too soon!!! Actually have been thinking about doing a cycle round Arthurs seat a couple of times then a run round, but not till after Ventoux. Which in my head always sounds like " Ventoux" pause " dum, dum, dum" scary sounds
