Otillo 2014





This has to be my most exciting race I have ever done , Our team Onoda applied with our detailed CV for the race organisers to consider us and with both of us sitting in front of the computer we found out we were one of three British teams chosen to represent the UK. 
It took a rather insane (and sadistic) Swedish mind to come up with OtillO or "Island to Island". The race takes place in the Stockholm archipelago in Sweden in September every year, racing as a team is compulsory so Tin aka Onoda and I will race as a team of two race together, literally from...island to island. Swimming? Running? You think you could do that, huh??? We will have 75kms to cover - 65kms running and 10kms swimming...and wait, it's on a single day!we will be prepared and will have to be competing against teams from the most fierce military personnel on the planet like the US Navy Seals or special German force operators for example!So look out for us running in our wetsuits and swimming in our shoes 


Endurance Life Anglesey Ultra 

18 January 2014

This is costal trail ultra over a fairly tough terrain it is just a shade over 34 miles with 3500 feet of climb . 
It was a truly gruesome day waking up early with the trusty VW camper rocking around in the wind and hearing the rain lashing against the windows was not shure it was going to be my day . The course was well flooded in places with some ankle deep mud , knee deep sea water at Rhoscolyn bay and waves breaking over the causeway at Treaddaur bay .All in all a good day out with third place in a time of 4.49
