Nick Hockenhull's Ironman Challenge
- EVENT DATE 22 JULY 2012
- CLOSING DATE 10 SEPTEMBER 2012
Finally I have entered Ironman UK 2012 after several years of being a run of the mill cyclist / triathlete...The race coincides with my big 5-0 so I've chosen a symbolic way to really suffer the pains of getting older: a 2.5 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride, followed by a marathon and then spending the rest of the summer hyperventilating in a wheelchair . Competing in this event needs to have a greater significance than just reinforcing my masculinity - I could have bought a motorbike or a pair of leather pants. Such a high profile race creates a good opportunity to raise money for a worthy cause so I've chosen UNICEF - a charity focused on the plight of children across the world. If you would like to donate and/or forward this page on to friends and work colleagues it would be greatly appreciated. Not only will it change lives it would also help me to place one foot in front of the other when things get really nasty on July the 22nd in Bolton.
