Time for me to step up to the plate and register for some
other races in 2015.
My wife has expressed interest in Adventure Racing so after
a bit of discussion and looking around we settled on taking on the Non-Stop
Coast to Coast Challenge from Co. Sligo to Co. Down in May for our own bit of
team building exercise:
16 – 17 MAY 2015 – ENNISCRONE, Co SLIGO – NEWCASTLE, Co DOWNNON – STOP & 2 DAY MULTISPORT RACE ACROSS IRELANDIreland, an island steeped in history and mythology with scenery which rivals that of any other sights around the globe. For many years visitors have flown or sailed to Irish shores to take in these sights and to go home with great memories of this fantastic island. For one week in May many travelling will have their sights set on a truly iconic event – the 26 Extreme Coast to Coast Multisport Race Across Ireland.
Traversing Ireland in a west to east format the route of the 26 Extreme Coast to Coast will pass through unspoilt rural locations, through quaint villages and along one of the most famous waterways in Ireland – The Shannon – Erne Waterway. Whether you choose to race the NON-STOP version or the TWO DAY version you will follow a route which winds its way along 316km of the best cycling, paddling and running terrain Ireland has to offer. Competitors will be truly astounded at the scenery and challenge laid down before them in this fantastic event.
We’re entered to do the Non-Stop version.
Ireland – Coast to Coast – Saturday 16th to Sunday 17th May 2015
Course Option: Non-Stop
Team Type: Pair
Class: Mixed
Club: Team #TriHarder ARTeam Type Name: Gotta Run
Team Member 1: Sean Conroy
Team Member 2: Edel Conroy
Apart from enjoying the experience and completing the main
goal for us is to see how we get on together working as a different kind of
team, without the kids around!! 
As most Adventure Racers will know there is a dynamic to the
team and how it works together before and during a race. It is this dynamic
that I think will be different because we are a couple and life partners
too. I’m really looking forward to this as it opens a whole lot of new
doors for us. What else could be better than finding out that both of you love
Adventure Racing?!
Imagine a whole new world opening up for holiday
destinations!!
I've laid out my training diary and goals for each week, I'll post shortly with those. Be sure to follow Team #TriHarderAR as the entire team continues to work on core training fitness towards this years bug goal race.

See you out there!
