Well what can I say, what an event, what an experience, what a challenge !!

Just after xmas I sent out an expression of interest  to all my clients concerning an adventure challenge being held in grizedale Forest Cumbria. 15 people took up the challenge which was enough to enter 5 teams of 3. We had 11 weeks to train for the event, many of us were untested not only in distance but also in the various disciplines which made up the event.

Most of the contenders were training with me around 3 times a week already either on my boot camp or personal training. We did some additional running sessions over the weekend which was a lot of fun. Some people hadn’t completed a 5km run, however by the end of the 11 weeks were running 12km in good pace.

With the hard work behind us, we made our way up to Coniston Cumbria, most of us stayed in the same accommodation which made it a socially fantastic weekend, all like minded people, sharing an experience and enjoying the beautiful surroundings of the lake district.

It was like the night before xmas, the excitement in the group was incredible. On race day there was mixed feelings in the group, a mixture of excitement and apprehension. You have to remember, many of us had never done an event like this before, we weren’t seasoned adventure racers and we didn’t know what to expect……except possibly pain !!

The race itself was incredible, it felt as if we were racing up a vertical ascent for the entire race. It was tough, but exhilarating all the same, great scenery, the thrill of racing and of course the mental challenge of just getting through it.

All teams finished with out incident and finished well. We had some fantastic results…..The first team finished the event in just under 3 hours and the last just under 4hrs 30mins. A tremendous achievement.

I’ll be entering another adventure challenge in the very near future. I’ll keep you posted, so train hard and get on board.

Here’s a few pictures from the event….enjoy !!
