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.

Sunday 6 May 2012

Jane can now add 14 mile cycle and about a mile and a half run to her weekly total! Dont know how she does it! We , along with our new training partner, Erin, did the Peebles cycle and half of the run today. Why only half the run? Cos we found ourselves in the middle of a race happening in Peebles this afternoon. We did find it a bit weird to have our route marked out by wee flags and signs saying "runners this way" and have marshals looking at us in a strange way! The cycle was good, went a bit further than the route again, and it was going well until it started to rain...we were all a bit grumpy and cold by the end! I had got up really early this morning and went off to watch the Dalkeith sprint triathlon. It was really interesting to see how it all works, but could have done without the crinkly old guy getting completely naked in the transition area!! I still think I'll be the slowest person in the pool, but hopefully won't be too embarrassing and I definitely will not be getting naked at any point!!!
