Postponement

Due to financial reasons I’ve had to postpone the Global Triathlon by 12months. This was always going to be a difficult time to try and source sponsorship for a big trip and I know that I am only one of many expeditions that have been delayed in the last year. It is still incredibly gutting to have to delay the start.

Physically I feel I’m in as good a condition as I can be and maintaining it for 12months is going to be tough. I have a great team in place fully committed to make this expedition a reality for May 2011. This year I’ll be focussing on some smaller swimming goals and working on increasing my experience of whatever the oceans may throw at me next year!

I’d like to thank all the people that continue to support me on this mammoth undertaking-it’s not something that I could achieve on my own and I feel lucky to have so many people around me willing to shoulder some of the burden.

It’s been a tough week getting used to the fact that I’m not going to get a chance at the Atlantic this year but I’m now confident that my chances of success will be even higher for the start next year.

   Dan, Absolutely gutted not to be able to cheer you across the Atlantic this summer but really looking forward to a stronger and better prepared Dan tackling it this time next year. Keep at it. Tim.
