The background

Only signed up to the event 4 weeks ago. Never ran more than 5K and never cycled more than 70 miles in one day, only kayaked occasionally and never done any hiking before.

Training is going ok, but already feeling the aches and pains, so 16 days back to back is probably going to be a lot worse!

But my mind is totally up for it, so hoping "mind over matter" isn't just a saying...

The Who

Desk worker, non-smoker and never bought a car from a single lady owner....

The Why

Because every man needs to find his breaking point and this surely should be it for me.
