​

2 previous entries in 3PYR. Bob Graham Round, numerous mountain marathons and a bit of adventure racing.  Can actually sail a bit as well but not well enough to be a sailor on our boat.

​

My aim for the race is to absorb as much info as I can about the sailing whilst smashing out the running stages. I'm also in it for the passages to and from the race as well.

​

Mostly focused around mountain marathon events or long fell races, but living next to the Lakes District gives plenty of opportunities for running in the hills most weeks. I've completed several LAMM, OMM and Saunders events on B or A courses as well as three Old Counties Tops fell races in the Lakes. Sailing will be quite new to me!
