Hi all,
After completing the kielder100 this year and once the aches and pains had subsided, I tried to think what might be the next big challenge after earlier in the year doing my first 24 hour solo. I was also inspired to think of something epic after seeing the achievements of the likes of Eddie Izzard and that iceman guy on the C4 programme.
Then I had a crazy idea, Killer Kielder 3rd Sept 2011:
– Kielder100
– Kayak the length of the lake
– Run the kielder marathon…
In one day!
Has anyone done anything similar? Any serious triathletes/dualathletes out there? I think it might be a fairly unique challenge.
I’d say I’m reasonably fit but certainly dont have any serious pedigree at either of the 3 challenges. I normally come middle of the pack-ish at biking races I do (maybe 10 events a year?). I’ve done the great north run once and have probably done as much kayaking as your average person i.e. once or twice whilst on activity trips at school or something. Last year I did a couple of off road dualthlons which were pretty tough but not any significant distance.
So, the question is, can it be done by someone like me??!! Would like to do it for charity as well. Any advice/guidance would be gratefully received.
cheers
Matt
