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.

Just read Janes blog post and I got totally soaking today aswell!! I was soaked from heat to soggy feet and ALL my clothes were wringing wet....but I was in the pool in my swim suit not outside in the horribleness! It is all my fault for saying the "S" word yesterday.....sorry about that. I thought the swim was going Ok this morning till a wee old lady who was swimming breast stroke with dry hair over took me!! It wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't gasping for breath at the end of a strenuous 4 lengths( they were done without stopping, does that count?) she just said, " mind if I go in front?" grrrrrr! I did manage to do 4 lengths of legs only again, which I'm hoping will help, as it's when I add the legs in it all goes wonky! I really must attempt a timed 30 lengths soon, but I just think it'll be too embarrassing.
