Bushed but Inspired!

So it's been a pretty busy week! Just back from the Lake District, and I'm knackered! I think I've driven about 1500 miles in the last 5 days!

The Bushcraft course was pretty good fun, though I'd have preferred to focus a bit more on the survival side of things than the crafty side of things. My hand is all blistered and cut from whittling! Don't think wielding a knife is quite my forte, though I did really enjoy learning all about fire, water, shelters, and gathering and preparing food.

I have taken something really positive from the course, and from Saturday's beginner adventure race though ... I think I may have found my future calling! Adventure Racing looks amazing and combines all my loves - travel, the outdoors, fitness and thrill seeking! One of the guys on the bushcraft course was amazing - he had done 6 Iron Man triathlons and was now doing Adventure Races and Triathlons around the world - he's just come back from an Escape from Alcatraz triathlon - how amazing is that??!!

SO inspired :)
As soon as I get back from all my travels, I definitely want to start properly training for adventure racing!! Hopefully by then CC will have been commissioned, and I could do the adventure races around the world as part of the series!!

Big plans, but then I guess that's what Challenge Charly is all about - thinking big, and not worrying about physical constraints, you can do anything you put your mind to!
