Background and Ambitions

Grew up running around the African jungle; love nothing better than going off-piste in any terrain.
Was first inspired to do AR by the Borneo EcoChallenge video. Love to do more longer races – only hiccup is that these things cost a lot, both in terms of training time and $$$, esp when factoring in family….same old, same old, lol.
Much prefer races that visit truly wild areas – don’t like coming across ramblers etc while racing.
