On Track – Steyning Triathlon Completed and £350 Raised for the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund
May 8, 2014 by Ivan Snell
Snell Consultancy Director, Ivan Snell, completed his third `warm up’ triathlon, the Raw Energy Pursuits Steyning Standard Triathlon, held at the beautiful West Sussex village of Steyning, on the 4th May 2014. He successfully completed the race, made up of a 800m swim, 35 km bike ride and 8km run in two hours and seventeen minutes. This was the penultimate event in a three month training plan to prepare Ivan for the olympic distance at the Windsor olympic triathlon on Sunday 15rd June 2014.
Speaking after the race Ivan said: “I still struggle with the 4:30 am wake ups. It is a real motivation to get off the debutant swimmer start position which are normally at 06:00 am for these sorts of events. However, the weather was beautiful, there was a fantastic atmosphere and I am slowing extending the distances ready for the Olympic event in June”. He continued, “my fund raising is a bit behind plan but I am sure folks will support me with reaching my target of £2,500 in sponsorship for the Pancreatic Cancer Research fund – there is still plenty of time to go before the event!”
Ivan Snell is raising money for the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund by racing in the Olympic distance (1,500 swim/40k cycle/10k run) HumanRace Windsor triathlon on 15th June 2014. He is racing in a number of shorter distance `super sprint’ triathlons this summer as training for the big event. For more information on Snell Consultancy charity fund raising please go here.
