I'm allways up for a challenge be it Climbing Mont Blanc or climbing up an overhanging rockface, so most weekends i'm usually found outside having fun.
This time last year i was living in the flatlands of the Fens and training hard for two weeks sport climbing in the sun of eastern Med to celebrate my 40th. This year i'm now living in beautiful Scotland with Sara and enjoying the being close to the mountains. Living in the Fens was fine but to get anywhere mountainous meant a 2/3 hour drive, now i can see mountains from where i live and Glen Coe is under an hour away!!!
Since moving to Scotland i've experianced the worst winter for years and seen what real snow looks like! though this has meant we've kept busy by doing lots of hill walking and skiing so my fitness isn't that bad, now that i have been entered into the Highland cross i need to up the pace and train for this crazy race across Scotland coast to coast.
It's not the 30 mile bike section that worries me, as in my earlier years i was a racing cyclist, I must admit that when i was racing i couldn't run at all, now that's all changed, and i now really enjoy running. I am really looking forward to the challenge and hopefully completing it in a respectable time.
