Bala-Athon...

This week I agreed, after some serious thought, to take part in a self
supported Bala-athon. The 'event' will take place on 23/08 with two
pairs competing in the inaugural event. The event comprises a swim
supported by a kayaker and then a run.

The first and second legs are a swim across lake Bala - a distance of
around 3 miles. This will be accompanied and supported by a partner in
a kayak. At the end the roles are reversed and the kayaker swims back
supported by the first leg swimmer in the kayak.

Once back where they started the next and final leg is a run around
the lake. A distance of around 10.5 miles. The winners being the pair
with the best combined finish time.

Should be great fun!
