The September Member of the Month award is presented to Keith Diaper.
For those of you who aren’t aware (where have you been?!), Keith set himself the challenge of completing 52 middle distance triathlons over 26 consecutive weekends between April 2017 and September 2017. To put that into perspective, that’s a half marathon every Saturday and Sunday for six months, but having swum 1.2 miles and cycled 56 miles immediately before each one. I can’t begin to imagine the grit and determination required to even consider this challenge, let alone see it through to completion.
Although his triathlon challenged finished on 24th September, Keith was straight back running again in the Pieces of Eight race and the Great South Run in October, without a single complaint about fatigue or stiffness.
An incredible achievement Keith, many congratulations and we look forward to seeing you back at training again soon!
