Howzit SA Men?

Are you up for a challenge? This is no ordinary challenge, this is something that will put you so far out of your comfort zone I don’t think any of you will make it, what do you say, you wanna play? Wait for it, a full marathon.....half naked(shorts and open shoes only), in a region above the arctic circle!!! Can’t be done right? Well, when you in -20 degrees Celsius, your skin will freeze, your heart will beat like a steam train, you become nauseous and there are all sorts of other issues to contend with...well Wim Hof has done it, and the only reason he did it, was to prove that you can put your mind over matter.

OK, so no need to run the challenge, but do you believe in mind over matter? What have you done that makes you believe this? Post your comments on our FB page!

Making a good First Impression

I consider myself an experienced adventure racer. I have done almost 20 races of over 100km in length, including Expedition Africa of 500+kms. I have titled this report “Adapt of Die” as even with all the experience I have at racing under South African conditions I was not able to adapt to the new conditions I was racing in and in the end this was the reason I did not finish the race.
