Tomorrow, in Camlough, Stakeholder will be well represented in the Crooked Lake Triathlon, with one employee (this author) attempting the whole shebang, another (Deborah) doing the glory leg of the relay (the 5k run), one former employee (Pat McP) with his swimming hat in the ring (and fancy dan wet suit, new bike and running shoes) and a a crew of Newry and Belfast based colleagues there to lend moral support – and jelly babies.
I accepted the challenge months ago, when the 5th June was ‘ages away’ and there seemed to be loads of time for training, learning how to swim properly and getting the aul bike out on the open road. That time has flown by and, a mere 4 pool sessions later, the prospect of the swim – in open water - is daunting. Scratch daunting, it frankly scares the life out of me. Tom Kelly’s promise to buy a pair of water wings doesn’t help.
Anyway – life is supposed to be a challenge right? Tomorrow we embrace it, eyes wide open and a stopwatch on the wrist. Ready? Steady? Go……………
It‘s quiet in here! Why not leave a response?
