Yes it appears I am a gluten for punishment and yesterday competed in the Anaconda Adventure race. This time in a team of three where I did the swim and the mountain bike legs, leaving the paddle and the run to a few mates. Of course we all did the team run at the end.

What a perfect day it was (in terms of the weather at least), you could not have asked for better conditions to complete in.

We were a veterans team (all over 40) and this put us in a field of 53. The total number of entries was a staggering 560 teams.
