Swim event finished now onto the main event - Sprint Triathlon!
Having finished the Can Too swim last weekend, I am now ready to take my training up a level and compete in a mini Triathlon event this weekend. I found the swim challenging but a lot of fun, it was great to see how far I could push myself.
My triathlon will be a 500m swim, a 14km Cycle and a 4km run. Great preparation for the main Triathlon Event on 15th February!
I am currently training at least 4 times a week with Can Too and hope to complete the main Tri event (750m swim/20km Cycle/5km run) in under 1hr 45min, or even 1 hour 30 but we will see how I go !
Can Too is a charity foundation that raises money to assist in the search for a cancer cure. Since its inception is has raised nearly $14 million! It raises money through those who train and participate in their sports events, such as the triathlon I am participating in.
Deciding to join the Can Too foundation was a huge step for me but I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and I am looking forward to being able to compete in the triathlon. As part of the Can Too tradition, I am currently looking for sponsorship. My aim is to raise $2,500 for the foundation and to help fundraise for cancer research. If you would be willing to contribute, no matter how minor your contribution, I would be very grateful.
Thank you all so much !
I'm training for a Sprint Triathlon with Can Too!
I am training for an event with Can Too, a non-profit program that matches fitness incentives with a good cause.
Beginners and experienced athletes alike are given professional coaching as part of a team to run or swim in endurance events- including 10km, half-marathon and marathon runs; as well as ocean swims and triathlons.
In return, I will raise valuable funds that go directly towards funding cancer researchers through Cure Cancer Australia.
‘It’s so much fun and I can’t believe I’m going to achieve this goal that I never thought possible. A great program and team support is making it possible. You Can Too!’
Thank you to my Sponsors
