Training Update – The chain on my bike snapped and took most of the gear wheel with it on Thursday, ended up on Mrs Britten's pink one. Hannah has come back ill from a week away with her school. This meant no swimming for me this week. I went for a little run on Sunday and nearly passed out with the heat. Other than that, all is going well. I am getting a new bike on Monday.

Hoping for an incident free week.

Mr Britten's Summer Madness

I can cycle a bit, run a bit and swim doggy paddle! Doing all three...

On Sunday 14^th August, Mr Britten will attempt to complete his first ever triathlon. Inspired by his visit to the Paralympic World Cup, he will be raising money for Cerebral Palsy Sport at the Erewash Triathlon.

Cerebral Palsy Sport is the sports organisation for people with cerebral palsy, providing sporting opportunities to individuals of all ages and at all levels from the recreational right through to paralympic competition.

It is also an advisory agency for disability sport issues and is recognised and respected within the international arena.
It was a founder member of the British Paralympic Association and is also a member of CP ISRA, the international sports organisation for people with cerebral palsy, which in turn was a founder member of the International Paralympic Committee.
Cerebral Palsy Sport's primary aim is to attract more people to become involved in sporting activities for the pursuit of excellence or for fun and enjoyment. Among the activities covered by CP Sport are athletics, boccia, bowls, football, swimming and table cricket.

A triathlon is a multi-sport event involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance events. While many variations of the sport exist, triathlon, in its most popular form, involves swimming, cycling, and running in immediate succession over various distances. Triathletes compete for fastest overall course completion time, including timed "transitions" between the individual swim, bike, and run components.
