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.

Janey's running ramblings

In preparation for my trail run in Keswick at the weekend, I got myself out for a gentle 4 mile run at lunchtime. My training partner was not with me, she was too busy trying to stop herself from falling asleep! I was very tired yesterday, not physically, but mentally very tired. I think the difference with the triathlon to the usual events that I do is that there is a lot to think about rather than just a run where you start when the gun goes and then stop when you get to the finish. I really enjoyed that aspect although really want to improve my transition and cycle times.

Still run was good, got the legs going again and loosened off my right ankle which was left a bit stiff after Sunday's efforts. I think it was the bike ride which made my ankle stiff, because it was stuck in the same position for 12 miles (clipless pedals) which my ankles are just not used to.

And yes, as Tracey has said we have only gone and entered another tri in September the Haddington Sprint Triathlon. Which is the week after the Glasgow Half Marathon - I don't do things by half do I???

So twotacklethree may be coming to an end but the challenges just keep on coming....................

don't worry, be happy :)
