I have kept myself fairly fit during the pandemic but I need a goal to get fitter and also burn off excess "lock down" pounds.
Last Friday I met up with an old friend, who I used to go running with many years ago (Not anyone from Newham) for a meal in Covent Garden and (after several drinks) we agreed to take part in a self organised Olympic distance triathlon early next year (April/May).
Similar to the one I did with Newham's Terry Paul in 2016 , when we swam 1500m in the Aquatic Centre, went on a 40k cycle ride to the Houses of Parliament and back again then went for a 10k circular run alongside the River Lea.
I will raise funds for UNISON's Welfare "there for you" and will throw open the challenge to Terry and others to join us.
