In my second season of Adventure racing and i love it. I love the esoteric areas that we visit in a race and as ranulph fiennes says "we are usually in too much of a hurry or in too much pain to apprieciate it fully." Aslong as i am outdoors then i am happy. Working towards my ML and SPA assesment and enjoy racing with my mate Ryan.
