The end of Breca Gower racing with Chris.
My first ever swimrun with Janek. No paddles, no buoys, no tow. And full length neoprene on the legs!
ITERA Expedition Race (5 days), Wales 2014, where the team element was paramount
Adidas TERREX 5 Day Adventure Race, Scotland 2012. The first time I saw a tow used in racing, and it was during the mountain bike section!
~ The Cuillin Ridge, Isle of Skye, May 2006 - my first "swimrun"? ~
~ Achill Island, Co Mayo ~
