We are all very lucky indeed that we have our very own Mr Motivator!
Vince is a sub 3 hour marathon runner, full IronMan completer and triathlete! He is also incredible at bringing out the best in people! He will prod, pressure, encourage and cajole all of us, in the process galvanising us into a team!
This page is for Vince to post our training log, and for the rest of us to comment, whinge, grumble and curse! But we will all thank him when we finally reach that signpost at Land’s End!

Great start to the training. Pulled a muscle in my neck and therefore currently unable to cycle. Here’s hoping it will heal quickly.
