We are a group of mums from Marshfield all with two or more young children who attend the local school.
Most of us work Part/Full time and when not working in the day can often be found in the cafe area of David Lloyd, ''well they do say caffeine is great before a workout"
A few months back a group of us attended the ''Ladies who lunch for luca'' whilst there we were affectionally named table 10, basically the loud ones at the back flirting with Gethin Jones ha ha well why wouldn't you ???
So about the Triathlon, well after the event how could you not be inspired to do something ? after meeting such a determined little boy and an amazingly welcoming family we began to throw ideas around.
''Lets do a triathlon'', well why not ? most of us are at the gym three days a week usually drinking more coffee than actual training.
''Isn't it going to be hard'' ?, well of course, thats the whole point of it, but we need a challenge.
''Let's do something no-one would expect us to do'' ok but a triathlon ? that's big not all of us can swim, ''so we find an instructor''.
So it began not without hesitation I may add, please don't underestimate the' want' to do something amazing for Luca, but at the same time this would mean a huge amount of commitment, time and individually personal challenges and fears to overcome.
Never the less we find ourselves here !!!, we felt that writing our training blogs would encourage people to follow our progress, individually and as a team, to provide support and training tips, so please any advice, bring it on............
Secondly I would like to add what began as a small group of women has grown quite a bit, of course we have managed to rope in some of our husbands, so men do not be afraid.
FINALLY WE WOULD LOVE OTHERS TO JOIN US ON OUR ADVENTURE, RAISING MORE AND MORE FUNDS 'FOR LUCA' we are currently looking at the Fairwater Sprint Triathlon on May 5th, although this may change depending on the numbers of people.
If you require any further information please let us know
