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.

Tracey and the Edinburgh to St Andrew's bike ride

Alistair and I got up early to head into Inverleith Park to show our support of the legend that is Tracey Joyce!  And legend she needed to be - it was absolutely chukking it down and pretty cold.

We got there and began to worry that perhaps no-one else had turned up - it was so quiet. However, gradually people started to creep out of their cars and get their bikes to the start. We headed in and as usual Alistair managed to speak to a Council man and Ged from Edinburgh Bike Co-op! Eventually we found Tracey, hiding under a tree with about a million clothes on. For the second week in a row Tracey is cycling her bike wet!

She peeled off her layers briefly for a Haemophilia Society photo shoot!



She still looks quite happy at this point despite the rain.............

After a bit more standing around in the rain and listening to the Penicuik Silver Band the field began to come together into appropriate finishing time slots. Gave Tracey a quick good luck hug and then headed out to get a vantage point where we could wave her off.


still smiling! :)


Bye Tracey, good luck, enjoy the ride and your beer and a curry when you finish!!!!!

don't worry, be happy :)
