SG to tackle triathlon

12 July 2008

Stewart Golf Directors Mark Stewart and David Funnel are set to take on the London Triathlon on the 10th of August 2008.

As you may know, Dave and Mark took on the London Triathlon on the hottest day of last year and came through with flying colours, with Mark narrowly winning bragging rights with victory on the day (see pictures left). However this year Dave has been taking things seriously, with several witnesses reporting that he has actually learned to swim for this years event in between bottles of red wine and curry. Mark has hardly managed to train at all, instead preferring some serious international business travel which has hampered preparations somewhat. All in all this years challenge promises to be seriously close.

For the uninitiated, this is a full on Olympic Triathlon, just like they'll be doing in Beijing in a few weeks and the same as they'll be doing in 2012. That means a 1500m swim followed by 40km on the bike then a 10km run to the finish.

Stewart Golf is a big supporter of Sparks and raised just over £10,000 at the recent Stewart Golf Classic in addition to various other fundraising activities that we undertake throughout the year.
