I love swimming. I love cycling. I love running. I don’t love training.

Over the last 10 years I’ve raced in 10k’s, half marathons, marathons (Dublin, Edinburgh and Callanish), taken part in 24 hour challenges (Caledionian Challenge and 3 Peaks), bike races, triathlons and middle and long distance races (Challenge Henley, Challenge Weymouth, Ironman UK, Norseman and Challenge Roth). But, for all the races I’ve entered, there are many more I’ve failed to get to the start line. Or, worse, get to the finish line. However,  I am a trier, and everyone knows that God loves a trier. They give Him a laugh when they fall over yet again…
