I'm putting together a mixed team for XPD which is a 5-10 day expedition length adventure race in November this year - it's a 700-800km course involving treking/running, mountain biking, kayaking, navigation and possibly other activities like abseiling (www.xpd.com.au).
The race is based on teams of four people & as I havn't done this before and most of my friends think I'm crazy I am looking for Sydney based people who know how to have a laugh, have the free time for lots of training and want to have a go. Yes we will get very tired, yes we will get very lost, yes it will hurt but yes it should be fun.
It doesn't matter if you havn't ever kayaked, your long run is 10 km or are not much of a bike rider we have time to train, time to develop the skills and time to build the endurance base - what's most important is the right attitude (although if you can kayak, mtb and navigate already that's a bonus)- knowing how to smile and not give up when things are going badly will be all important - and we want to have fun. I'm really looking for Sydney based people so that we can easily do team based training and practice sessions before the race - possible would want to enter a couple of 24 or 48 hour races as well for practice.
If you might be interested, email me at ian76syd@hotmail.com and we can have a chat.
