We have more
events planned for later on including a crime panel evening on Tuesday 24th
September and at Holmfirth Library on Wednesday 25th September we
have Andy Holdgate. Andy Holgate is, by his
own admission, not your average triathlete. When he signed up for his first
event, he was 18 stone and "couldn't swim and didn't have a bike." "I
definitely break the mould of a typical Ironman competitor," said the
39-year-old from Lancaster. A full Ironman triathlon involves a 2.4-mile swim,
a 112-mile bike ride and a full marathon completed one after the other. Mr
Holgate's interest in the event started in 2006, when a friend dared him to
enter a local triathlon. Six years later, the father-of-one has a top 10 book
about his adventures, which has been nominated for a prestigious award.'Can't
Swim, Can't Ride, Can't Run' has now reached the final six in the New Writer of
the Year category in the 2012 British Sports Book Awards.
