Recently spent an exhausting 24 hrs at the Devizes to Westminster canoe race and I was only in the support crew!! Congratulations must go out to one of the Lazyshark founders Mike and his kayak partner James who completed the gruelling 125 mile non stop event in 25 hrs and 7 mins and this with only 4 months of paddling experience. Well done guys.
This got me thinking about other endurance events and in particular those in Australia and New Zealand. The Antipodeans definately have a penchant for hosting and competing in these kind of events. There are any number of ultra marathon, iron man and long distance cycling events you can undertake... A couple of sites worth visiting for any of you hard core competitors out there include Cool Running and Endurance Sport.
I think the challenge of competing in the Great North Run is more than enough for me at present...!
