The Squad

Paul
A strong triathlete with an ironman under his belt, won the ACE 2-day race series pairs with Russ in 2006. As our oldest team member he speaks a lot of sense and is always keen for more and to try new events. A strong runner and inline skater. Paul completed all the Vasque Ultra Running League events in 2009 & Marathon des Sables in 2010. Read his blog.
Jason
Another strong runner, rower and outdoor enthusiast that has been tempted into adventure racing. Part of our 4 inns trophy winning team, he completed the Open Adventure Endurance Series in his first year and went on to be in the CamRacers World Series Portugal expedition race team. In 2010 he's already completed the open 12 & open 24 and has the Terrex expedition race in his sights.
Russ
Grew up in orienteering, hiking and mountaineering then moved to longer orienteering events and mountain marathons. Won his first 5 hour AR event with Jeff. Often lead navigator on the MTB and kayak sections and can't seem to help making pre-race packing lists. Loves knowing that eating just about anything in a long race is good for you!
Jeff
A background in orienteering and long distance walking from an early age. A keen orienteer and often our lead navigator on foot. Has partnered Russ in several mountain marathons. Thinks towlines are a great idea! Our best faffer when it comes to transitions and tends to call everyone Bob as he becomes tired and can't remember names!
Nicole
Nicole is our most skilled racing paddler always looking for events where you can paddle 'real' kayaks such as quadrathlons. An up and coming navigator who is great fun to have on the team. Completed the Dark & White 4 hour series in 2010 and probably won the Mixed Pairs category.
Wendy
Can claim regional orienteering and Polaris MTB class wins to her name. She has been successful on mountain marathons and 24 hour adventure races. Competed in the Courmayeur-Chamonix Ultra trail and already looking for the next challenge.
Steve
Adventuring in the mountains since childhood, rock climbing and mountain biking since the days of bright clothing in the early 90s, rediscovering running legs 'useful' in races at school and finding that mountains and running go together! Didn't come last in the Pumlumon Challenge 09, went lighter without the climbing kit in the RAB MM 09. Ready to try some more!
Andy
A strong rower, experienced sailor and houseboat owner, Andy has excelled at long distance running, winning the 2009 Vasque Run Further Series including the Lakeland 100 mile event 2009. First GB male on the Ultra Tour de Mont Blanc race 2008, he just goes from strength to strength. Andy runs for UK, Scotland and Team Vasque.
Benji
Comes from a background in Triathlon, White-water kayaking and MTB. Has been a member of numerous kayak expeditions with trips to Nepal, Uganda and New-Zealand. Loves the team aspect of multisport and relishes the mental and physical demands of racing. Looking to get involved with more expedition racing.
Sabrina
Comes from a modern pentathlon background and got involved in adventure racing with the Hebridean Challenge in 2005. Completed the Mongol Derby horse race in 2009. Already showing her strength from road biking and applying it to MTB. A master of ebay when it comes to obtaining team equipment.
Ben
had been running, kayaking, mountain biking, swimming, rowing, climbing, hiking and eating too much sugar for years before realizing there was a sport that could tie everything together into one great big lump of fun. Since then he hasn't looked back except to see if his spare inner tube has fallen out of his saddle bag again...
Pat
30 years of extreme adventure have taken Pat through the USA, Canada, Alaska, Mexico, South America, Nepal and to the UK where he found AR. He's a mountaineer, climber, passionate sea kayaker and road and MTB racer. He's already clocked up the Open Endurance Series, OMM, Welsh 3000's - the list just goes on! With this he brings calm experience to the team.
Jean
Jean acts mainly as support driver / medic / marshal, although she has competed in a Wicklow Rogaine and KIMM with Russ, and won 3rd solo female in an early Open 5 (there was no 4th!) Marshalled at the renowned OMM2009. Completed the Saunders MM in 2010.

 

Hamish
A keen runner excelling at longer distances and also enjoys getting out on a mountain bike. He's raced in Poland and completed numerous trail challenges including our 4 inns trophy winning team.
