With some big events now lined up, today is about doing something very important! Getting my heart screened ❤️ I last did this in preparation for taking part in my first triathlons back in 2018 and believe it’s so important to get this done!

1 in 300 people aged 14 to 35 have an undiagnosed heart condition and early diagnosis leads to a large number of those receiving potentially life saving treatment!

Charities such as Cardiac Risk in the Young, who are hosting the screening I’m attending today, Calon Hearts UK and many others, regularly provide heart screening sessions all over the country and in some cases for free thanks to fundraising! ❤️

Be sure to check out these charities websites and social media and register interest for when a screening session becomes available close to you!

Almost 2 years since Ironman Wales and other than the odd event here and there I’ve not done anything as demanding since, that’s until now!

2025 i don’t only plan to complete Outlaw Nottingham but I also plan to complete my first ever UltraMarathon of 43 miles just a few months prior to my second ever Iron distance triathlon! 🏊‍♂️ 🚴‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️

Why? Well why not try and take it one stop further but one of the reasons why is to of course try and raise more money for another fantastic charity!

This time I have chosen to support the fantastic Winston's Wish - giving hope to grieving children who help support young people going through bereavement as well as providing support and advice for parents, teachers and other adults in caring for children and young adults going through difficult times ❤️

My training programme, firstly for the ultra, will start in just a couple weeks but in the meantime please take a moment to visit my JustGiving page, read my big reason why, and maybe donate to this wonderful charity!

Absolutely loved Sunday, lovely route and averaged well over 18 mph around the streets of London and Essex! 💪 It is also 2 out of 3 London classics complete 🏃‍♂️ ✔️ 🚴 ✔️

Way back in 2015 when I completed the London marathon I wasn’t aware of the London classics but now I am eyeing up the 2 mile Swim Serpentine to complete all 3 and earn the prestigious 4th medal!🏊‍♂️

Absolutely love the new tattoo! 😍 thank you so much to Richard at Studio S for doing such an incredible job and putting together something that was so much better than what I could have imagined!

I wanted that bit more than just the M-Dot to celebrate becoming an Ironman. Being proud of where I am from and Ironman Wales being know as “Y Ddraig” or “The Dragon” I knew I wanted one to feature on the tattoo and I chose for this one to be asleep to show that the challenge of completing IRONMAN Wales has been put to rest! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Caerphilly Castle in the background which is not only the town of the fantastic Caerphilly Tri-ers 🖤💛 who helped me reach my goal and helped me overcome my fear of the sea (and my general inability to swim 😂) but it’s also the town that I associate with my Dad, and where he spent several years growing up, who this whole crazy event was in memory for ❤️

I just want to say thank you so much once again to everyone for your kind words, messages and donations before, during and after Ironman Wales! There were just so many I haven’t had chance to thank everyone individually! What is more incredible than this insane endurance event is the fact we have raised OVER £1,100 for the amazing Calon Heart Screening and Defibrillators Wales ❤️ that is quite literally lifesaving money! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Dad, this was for you ❤️❤️

Arriving home at 2am to then get up at 6am for work I’ve not really had chance to process yesterday until now!
-
What can I say, what an amazing day! There were highs and lows and times where I didn’t even think I’d finish but words can’t describe that feeling of crossing that line! It’s been a long time coming but it finally happened, I became an Ironman!
-
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me on my way to finally achieving this and everyone who came down to support me yesterday! ❤️
-
A massive thank you as well who has donated to the amazing Calon Heart Screening and Defibrillators Wales and helped us hit our target! The JustGiving page is still open to continue raising money for this wonderful charity! ❤️

WE HAVE HIT OUR £1,000 TARGET! 🎉

Thank you so so much to everyone who donated and helped achieve this! Didn’t post at all yesterday as when I finished it was literally a case of in the car and straight back to Birmingham ready for work this morning! However, I will be sure to post today! Very very tough day considering the conditions but couldn’t be happier to finish in under 15 hours ❤️❤️

Registration is done, the bike is racked and now it’s just a case of getting the calories and carbs in before we go! 🏊‍♂️ 🚴 🏃‍♂️

A 30 minute swim and 6 mile run today and that’s the longer training sessions all wrapped up! It’s been a long time coming having been cancelled twice but now there’s just 1 week to go!

Came into this year at my heaviest ever weight of 96kg and lacking motivation having trained so hard the previous 2 years! However, in a very busy year with my PGCE also, I’ve dug in and 10kg (and many miles) later I’m feeling fitter, faster, stronger and ready to take on the dragon at Ironman Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me and especially those who have donated for the amazing Calon Heart Screening and Defibrillators Wales charity! We are edging closer to our £1,000 target ❤️
