Intelligent Sport UK Challenge - Exmoor, 15-19 June 2011

 

Thanks for visiting my page and donating money to a fantastic charity - Children 1st! :)

 

Now for the interesting part... What will I be doing?

 

I'm part of the Scottish Widows team which is taking part in the Intelligent Sport UK Challenge in Exmoor from 15-19 June 2011. 

 

ISUKC is the premier team adventure challenge event in the UK, and will see us competing against up to 120 other corporate teams in 8 gruelling events.  The exact nature of the events is kept under wraps, but they typically involve things like running, mountain biking, kayaking, abseiling, orienteering, construction, etc.  Distances for running events can be up to a half marathon across difficult terrain.  Some of the events will be during the night - I can't see at the best of times so can you imagine what I will be like in the dark?! 

 

 

I will be training everyday and part of my training will involve a team training event in Exmoor from the 6-8 of May.

 

For more information on the competition see www.ukchallenge.co.uk.

 

The best part - i'll be completely mucky, in pain and generally looking and feeling horrendous, on top of that - no make up!!  I can't wait!  

 

Scottish Widows are looking to raise in excess of £40,000 and I am aiming to raise at least £1000.

 

Children 1st supports families under stress, protects children from harm and neglect, help them to recover from abuse and promote children's rights and interests.

 

Thanks again!
