| The memories of sleep deprivation and aching bodies mush have faded as both Peter and Cameron are returning to XPD after becoming hooked at last years XPD Whitsunday. It was decided that after finishing last years race unranked, the lads would regroup and return this year to take revenge on the event and finish with a hard earned rank. Unfortunately last years hard man Lynton was unable to commit due to his entry into the Simpson desert mtb race (of which i can tell you he won out right) and last years ring in Ally had plans to rightfully return to top all girls team Girls On Top. The hunt for new members led us to the door of Gaven, this will be Gaven's first taste of adventure racing and with little convincing we had him signing on the dotted line. No stranger to pain Gav has competed in several ironman triathlons including the Australian ironman Championships, Gav's work as a day night shift worker see's him in a semi state of consciousness most days and is therefore well and truly ready for the sleepless nights of XPD. Gav's strong biking ability should help complement Cameron who is from a strong MTB back ground. Peter is from a running and triathlon background and has been described as being as tough as an old boot in the past, this coupled with Peters, (or lally as he is better known) comedic attributes helps to keep the team laughing for the whole ten days. As yet we haven't been able to sucker a forth person into comin camping with us for ten days but as soon as we have someone in the net be sure to read all about them right here. Our team's aim is purely to finish the event in one piece, get a rank and see some awsome county. So bring on Nov 19th we're not scared these are tears of joy |
