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.

Thursday 26 April 2012

I did try to do a post on Monday, I typed it all out then clicked publish and it wiped itself, and I was just too tired to do it again! What I said then was .......oh my god...50m lengths are soooooooo much harder than 25m! I went to the Commie after picking Eilidh up from dancing, she was spectating/coaching from the side! I couldn't even do one length of the pool without switching to breast stroke! I asked Eilidh to watch and let me know if I was straight in the water and after she said" I think I need to draw a diagram, it was really weird" my legs are going from teeny weeny kicks to great big huge flaps depending on if I am breathing or not! Don't know how many lengths I did, but stayed for about 20 mins, then got really hungry so had to get out and home for my tea! Swam again this morning, only 20 mins again as I had to be in Dunbar early for a meeting. It's quite frustrating, I'm too fast for the slow lane, by way too slow for the fast lane, so I end up waiting at the ends a lot, which isn't helping my stamina/ training much!
