Three challenges for my 40th year - an Olympic distance triathlon, a half-marathon run and a bike ride of 1,000-odd miles from Land's End to John o'Groats - all in aid of the Northamptonshire Community Foundation, supporting the Olympic athletes of the future.
With thanks to my late aunt, Jean Abdee, whose legacy has helped make this possible.

Sufficent unto the day is the toothpaste thereof
It may seem rather sad (or obsessive) to look at saving weight on such a small item as toothpaste, but look after the grams and hopefully the kilos will be fewer. I bought a 30ml tube of Crest and kept a record of usage, finding that it lasted for 24applications, so two tubes would do the whole trip. Next on the list will be little bottles of shampoo and conditioner. On one level, it's useful preparation and ensuring I don't over-pack. On another, it's a way of preparing my mind for a challenge so big I'm hardly able to actually believe it.
