 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!

 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
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.

 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!

 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...
