Did my first adventure race in November '07 and was immediately hooked.
Coming from a mountaineering and mtb-ing background, this was reason enough to dust of my fell running shoes that had not seen the light of day in 15 years. I love the team work that comes from racing as a pair or team of four, and I've really enjoyed riding and running in some really beautiful parts of the country as a result of the racing. |
