The Great Lakeland Challenge 2009 is an extreme triathlon which involves conquering the longest, steepest and highest challenges in England.

As a team, we canoed the 10.5 mile length of Windermere, cycled 26 miles up the steepest mountain road pass and then ran 8.5 miles to the summit of Scafell Pike (and down again). 

We finished in 8th place (out of 26 teams) after 9 hours but we were the 5th fastest team overall, taking just under 8 hours to race all 3 stages.
