The Pro athletes will be hoping to finish the course in around 8.5 – 9hrs with the rest of us finishing anytime after that. This will be my first IronMan event so for me I will be just happy to complete the event in one piece! I have created a fundraising page with Just Giving and hope to raise £1000 for my charity of choice. I would be amazing if you could spare a few moments and a few pounds to donate to this cause. Just click http://www.justgiving.com/Ben-Harperlanzaroteironman. Thank you in advance for your support and I look forward to seeing many of you on the day. My Race number is 213 and please cheer loudly. Ben

It is that time again where 1,500 hopeful athletes arrive to Lanzarote to take part in the toughest IronMan challenge in the world. On 21st May, starting at 7am in Puerto del Carmen, athletes first swim 3.8km, then cycle for 180km around the spectacular volcanic island, and, to finish the day off, a 42.2km marathon along the Puerto del Carmen seafront. This year I am taking part in the event raising money for Leukemia Research as a close family member was diagnosed with Leukemia at the start of 2010. |
