Steven Ramsay, Baigent Digital's Creative Director, celebrates as he successfully completes the Mazda London Triathlon in record time!
Despite the frustrations of getting cramp in his leg and having to cycle back when his number fell off his t-shirt, Steven still managed to achieve an amazing time for the Triathlon of 3:13:13!
He comments, "As it was the final leg of the Triathlon, the 10k run was the hardest part physically and mentally. There was a point towards the end where I started to struggle so I started saying my grandfather's name as I was running the race for him, and this gave me the boost I needed to break through the pain barrier, keep going and finish the race. I was actually quite emotional as I crossed the finish line but when I looked around at the other athletes, including award winning Triathlon athletes and Olympians I felt proud and humbled that we'd all achieved this amazing challenge together".
The Stroke Association, the charity Steven chose to raise money for, are delighted to have raised more than £15,000 due to the fundraising efforts of the many Triathlon participants and sent a note of congratulations and thanks to each athlete.
What's next for Steven now he's completed this physical feat? Apart from taking a break from his gruelling training regime and from eating carb-building pasta, Steven is now looking for a new challenge for 2011!
The Baigent team are extremely proud of Steven and are right behind him in his search for a new adrenaline-filled fundraising event for next year!
Well done Steven!
