I’ve spoken enough about my personal efforts and experience ~ the story is told.

However one story that hasn’t been told on this channel is this -

We were a team of 16. For 9 months we toiled and strove for more from ourselves to prepare bodies and minds for the amazing challenge of the @mdslegendary. All 16 crossed the finish line. A incredible result for @ironmindinstitute

To put this in context, when I did the race in 2016 only 50% of my tent finished the race. The race’s standard DNF rate is 15 - 20%.

Much more importantly, we shared an extraordinary experience together. This is what it is all about really - stepping into the void and fighting, struggling and suffering to achieve something remarkably difficult together.

I’ve been on a lot of expeditions and this was a special group to share an experience with. Connections made for life.

Next stop - just the little matter of attempting to run around the island of Ireland.

Much to be done…. Chop Wood, Carry Water.
