“We enjoy sharing a challenge. This is a big one (obvious understatement) especially as 2 ‘normal’ people rather than athletes. We intend to enjoy every step of the journey from the first thinking about it, to the training and planning, and ultimately the actual race. Yes, it will be beyond tough both physically and mentally but, with the right attitude and preparation, the personal rewards will be proportionate. Why this year? Well, if not now, when?”
