a wee story

OK, so excited by all of this texted lots of people to have a look at our blog (it's cool you know!) Now getting phonecalls saying 'WHAT!' So here is a weeeee story.

Last year i decided that i wanted to do adventure racing, my lovely friends Anna and Sally smiled and said ok, so i did a wee bit research. If you do not know what adventure racing is then google. Anna and Sally run, cycle and generally are good all round gals, kayaking you name it they can do it. Anna has other commitments in her life and sadly declined ( although two competitive gals would be toooo much, so phew!) Sally, got right on board, had a wobble, and is now fully on board.

Last year i joined Columbia SALT (Scottish Adventure Ladies Team) and they have been a window of opportunity. I no longer need my friends, because i have SALT and i did the Edinburgh Rat Race with them and a Wan Dae event, all with people i do not know. I LOVED IT, especially meeting new like minded folk, and for all you guys out there, i have spent a LOT of time cycling behind gals with fab bums and not able to look at anything else for quite a few hours!

So anyway, Sally got a wee bit hooked, took her for a run up Dumyiat, and got sworn at she said this ' I only ever agreed to do a f....n 10km run' ooooo not happy, especially when i kept turning around and saying 'this is greeeeaaat eh!' But on the way down ( in the middle of the hills, complete wilderness) this is greeeeeaaaat eh, hooked, line and sinker! Yippeee.

Sally and i then went on to do the Wan Dae in Drumlanrig in Sep 06, totally loved it what a great day, despite being LOST in the woods for quite a while to start with. But our team cohesiveness made all the difference and we felt really proud of ourselves, and with our result by the end of the day.

So here we are now, a new season, and a new confident sally. We are now both members of Columbia SALT and part of our agreement is to do a race report after every race. So, what better way, a Blog (it's cool you know!). So here we are back at the beginning. And for all those who know me it is 1920hrs and i have an essay to be finished and submitted by 9am tomorrow morning. OH, and i have still a bit to do because you know this blogging takes up a wee bit of time.

till we meet again.
