We are managing to train just about every evening after work for between two and four hours, either in the Kinetika gym, swimming or pulling tyres around the local woods. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are swimming days, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays are gym days and Sunday is pulling tyres! If we’re very good we occasionally get a day off!
Rachel is eating like a horse, desperately trying to put on weight but failing miserably! Over Christmas she managed to put on 2kg and must have been the only person in the country to be pleased about it!
The last couple of months have been quite hectic sorting out the final items of equipment as well as the expedition logistics. We are getting there – slowly but surely!
This weekend we spent preparing for Finse. Food, skiing equipment, kiting equipment, camping equipment and clothing has all been packed and amounts to ~90kg of baggage!
