Epic effort to benefit flood victims

Well its been a few weeks so here is a catch up on what I have been up to....

Article from "Busselton & Dunsborough Times"

After hearing and watching the devistating news of the natural disaster to hit the East Coast of Australia, I thought it would be a great idea to whip up an event to raise some money to help our fellow Aussies in need.

Being a long distance triathlete I had to think of something challenging that was out of the normal training regime.... And then it hit. I was going to do a three day grind of swim, bike, run.

Day #1 - Ride from Perth to Busselton = 228km

Day #2 - Busselton Half Marathon = 21.1km

Day #3 - Busselton Jetty Swim = 3.8km

Total = 252.9km

Now I had the idea it was time to make a few phone calls to get an event partner and sponsorships.
