| Never done AR yet (ssh) but I am preparing.
I'm still untested with sleep deprivation but find one-day events easy. I have run long mountain events (100km+ < 12hrs, finishing top 3%) , done a couple of Ironman distance triathlons (13hrs, slowish but finishing fresh), several 800/1000km MTB week-long trail trips, Marathon de Sables (finished it a couple times, last in position 153/850), 90k cross country skiing events and 300k road bike races. I always finish with "petrol in the tank".
My goals are simple
1) enjoy natural beauty
2) be put out of comfort zone, overcome irrational fears and pre-conceived physical limits, learn skills and from others
3) laugh
4) finish without major injury
5) not be the limiting factor in any team
I have not played in a team. I'm aware dynamics will be VERY different so nervously looking forward to it.
I'm fluent in English, Spanish and German and I can communicate in Swedish. I understand well Italian, Portuguese. I live in Madrid, but lived in London from 1994 to 2008.
In a team, I'd look for people who are honest with themselves about objectives relative to training/form, leave the ego/pride behind, can laugh, see the positive in the negative, but also who will push me and don't mind being pushed a little. | | | | Best AR discipline | Running, Swimming, Biking | | Worst AR discipline | Ropes/Climbing/Horses/Finding my way around | | AR ambitions | To finish enjoyably painful expedition race event | | AR bugbear | My stomach / contact lenses | | AR best moment | Overcoming/ignoring blister pain | | AR worst moment | Very upset stomach in Marathon des Sables 2011 | | My AR best results | [Big blank - Still AR Virgin ] | | My next AR events | Not exactly AR...I know, just preparation | | Styrkeprovan 540K road bike ride Trondheim Oslo 2013 | | Vasaloppet, 90K cross country ski race in 2013 | | Ultra Trail Mont Blanc (2013) | | Couple of 100km trail races around Madrid area | | Favourite AR race | Fancy the Patagonian Expedition Challenge | | Favourite piece of kit | Injinji socks, Jamon Serrano & Parmesan |
