TransRockies Fun Written on August 26, 2008, by admin.

Tom and Andy are currently traversing the rockies at the Trans Rockies Run. It was a close run thing even getting them there as Tom has been struggling with his knee since the MXR, but he got the all clear last week so off they went. I guess they’ll be aiming for a top 3, [...]

Raid Series Western Australia, Day 2 Written on March 18, 2006, by admin.

It was already hot when we started the first short (14km) running leg. After a while we got onto the Cape to Cape trail, and this trail was to become the bane of our lives for the next two days (well except Phil who was immune to the heat). The Cape to Cape wound its [...]
