I’ve entered Norwich. I should probably set up some kind of fundraising page now as it does seem that I am actually DOING THIS.

The Norwich Tri is a sprint distance - so 800m swim, 20k bike and 5k run. Not so tough, I was thinking. Then having paid, I took a look at the times.

Hum. I think I will be fairly near the back of the pack.

Okay I can’t keep this up. I’m lying. I’m going to be at the back, probably by a good margin. If you have any mercy, please come armed with Dairy Milk and lob a square or two at me from time to time (please, no aiming at the head, not cool).

Also, Whitlingham has a serious swan issue. Anyone who has ever been there with an over-confident dog or child will know exactly what I mean. I’ve nearly lost both in the past. So what I’m gaining in the water quality stakes I am losing in the dangerous wildlife stakes.

Right now, I’d be lying if I said I was looking forward to this.
