Snell Consultancy Director, Ivan Snell, completed his fourth and final`warm up’ triathlon, the Lidl BananaMan Triathlon, at the beautiful Eton Dorney Lake over the week end of the 15th / 16th September. He successfully completed the race, made up of an 800m swim, 31.8km bike ride and 7.5km run in just under two hours. This was the final event in a six month training plan to prepare Ivan for the Olympic distance at the Virgin Active London Triathlon 2012 on Sunday 23rd September.
Speaking after the race Ivan said: “It went really well. I felt a lot more comfortable in the water than I did the last time I competed here in May. London is going to be a completely different event with so many people racing, there are over 500 starting with me in my wave, and the distances for the Olympic event are longer but it is really great to have now completed everything I set out to do this year in preparation for the big day. I have had amazing support also from my family, friends and work colleagues. We have nearly, so nearly, reached the target of £2,000 in sponsorship for Sparks for children’s health and there is still one week to go!”
