Well it was a tough ask from the beginning! Spending 6 months working in Namibia without a surf ski or a pool and only limited time for the odd MTB ride and run but as I write this the 2012 Mark Webber Challenge and Anaconda Adventure Race Lorne are behind me. The week between MWC was spent recovering at Moxie Gear HQ in Geelong with Darren Clarke offering up his home and car [...]
It was always going to be a challenge for me personally with limited preparation time but I was never going to let that stop me. The interesting thing for me was the type of fitness I carried in to the event. My general aerobic conditioning was great, my weight is good and my VO2 felt strong.

It’s been six years since I sat with John Jacoby and showed him my ideas for what is now regarded as one of the toughest and diverse Anaconda adventure races in the series. The Gold Coast edition was the first phase of the expansion of the series from the inaugural event in Lorne Victoria, 2005 I remember it was a long twelve months before I could exact my revenge on the new Gold Coast Anaconda race course, the season [...]
