I have been looking for a new challenge to take up towards the end of the year and here it is:
As always it has to be a stretch for me, and the recap on the last 18 months is:
14 Marathons, 1 70Km didn't quiet make the full 100Km of the North Face 100, Kokoda trek, shed ed 20 something kilos of body fat and now:
An Adventure Race
1. Kayak (Enter a event and finish)
2. Bike (Enter a event and finish)
3. Run (Have this down, as long as its no greater than 70 kilometers)
Now we all know last time I set myself a super challenge, I didn't quiet make it (The Iron man thing). so I'm going to hold off telling anyone what that is the, actual date and time (because I don't know yet) until I have mastered the Kayak leg of the challenge.
And to add some extra inspiration, ill be donating $2,500 to a worthy charity when I cross the finish line of a seriously tough adventure race, and in the lead up ill give $500 to a charity for each of the 3 milestones above I reach.
The Kayak thing is really turning out to be a challenge, I have been out a few times, however some more successful than others, and I continue to look like a five year old being dunked in the water - I have some work to do (And no I'm not taking any photos of it - I know how much enjoyment you would all get :) ).
But like someone said to me this morning, when I was getting more than frustrated with my limited kayaking abilities, don't give up so easily...... that's a challenge in its self.
Now the goal is set, time to get serious, like months gone past I'm getting focused.....
Watch this space, as the adventure starts.
Cheers
Jeff
