Here Goes Nothing...
Given that I gave up English several years ago, when the opportunity first presented itself, even I am a little confused as to my reasons for starting a blog. So, Who am I and why am I here?Who?
I am Dom Waters, 19 years old and first year Geography student at Hull Uni.That was easy...
Why?
Why I am here takes a little more explaining.
The easy answer is I now have something interesting to talk about. I don't consider myself a boring person, but i'm not a good enough writer to organize my (for the most part) mundane life into something readable and interesting! So, somewhat unexpectedly I have decided to cycle from Leeds to Amsterdam, all in aid of Dementia UK. The reason I started the blog is that through putting my ideas, moans, toils and most importantly training into the public domain (where my unfortunate friends can see it), I can to an extent coerce myself into training properly...
What to expect...
The intention is to keep this blog positive and full of delighted reports of circuit times improving and feeling wonderfully fit and well (not to mention smug!). In reality however I will end up cursing hills, raging about mechanical gremlins and swearing at head winds. For this, I apologize. But who knows, with any luck someone who actually knows what they are doing may stumble across this blog and set me straight.
I am hoping to update this blog at least once a week (Alex, Emily and all the rest, hold me to it! ;) ) and I will undoubtedly add in some ramblings about being a student in general
And finally...
Thanks for sticking it out to the bitter end of this somewhat disjointed post. Surprisingly I have really enjoyed writing it so I hope you enjoy reading it. (Brace for shameless plug) Given that I am doing this ride for charity I will end with a link to my Virgin Money Giving site. If you see me around please throw your spare change at me! (not to hard... please!) www.virginmoneygiving.com/dominicwaters
Many Thanks,
Dom.
PS: Happy Valentines day one and all :) <3
Love it and look forward to the next installment but may I ask the reasoning behind Dementia UK?
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon, I look forward to writing it! I chose Dementia UK out of the charities this ride supports as my granddad suffers from dementia. He lives in a care home now but he was able to retain a lot of independence for a long time doe to the work of the nurses who came to see him in his own home. This is one of the main services Dementia UK offers and I'd love to support it :)
