The 2016 Challenges

The chaos of Christmas is almost over, so I suppose I ought to draw the line in the sand of exactly what I have signed up to next year.

 Some are events that I’m thinking about, some are events that I have signed up to already and some are training.

• February – OS Spin series; 57 miles of cycling (awaiting entry opening to sign up).
• June/July – Coasteering; I need a team for this and to work out the training time required but if it goes ahead then it’s swimming, kayaking, coasteering and running (not yet signed up).
• June – Chase the Sun, sunset to sunrise cycle challenge Sandbanks to North Coast of Cornwall 140 or 160miles roughly on the longest day (definitely happening).
• August – South Coast Challenge 50K hike from Brighton to Arundel to raise money for British Heart Foundation (definitely happening).
• September – Dell Challenge; Run, hike, cycle and kayak (not yet signed up)
• September – Rat Race Coast to Coast in Scotland; fell running, on and off road cycling and kayaking (definitely happening).

 
Some of these are more serious and some of them are benchmarking to prepare for other events (like the spin series). I will edit as the year goes on but it seems to cover it for the moment. It’s certainly enough to keep me going at any rate!
