The Pull happened and we did it!! It nearly killed me and most of the team but we came 4th only 2 seconds behind the winning team over the 2 legs. We did however have the fatest time for the uphill leg which was a fantastic effort. Massive thanks to all of the team who put in a lot of effort to exceed our target and perform as well as we did on the day. additional thanks to Angus and Sara who volunteered to make up the numbers on the day
