Just in Case you Wanted to Know...

What is your favorite adventure race to date?

It tends to be the last one (my memory must be going), so Adidas Terrex - awesome terrain, great organisation and not too far to drive home afterwards. Much prefer the longer races and racing as part of a team.

How did you get involved in Adventure Racing?
Blundered through the KIMM in 2000 and have been adding disciplines and kit ever since. Was fortunate enough to be asked to join Accelerate in 2006 and haven't looked back since.

If you had one top tip for someone thinking of giving AR 'a-go' what would it be?
What are you waiting for - get on with it. You might love it or you might hate it, but there really is only one way to find out.
