Team Geared Up

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) As you nod off tonight spare a thought for the teams of adventure racers milling around the “magical landscapes” of Tipperary, Cork and Limerick in this years Beast of Ballyhoura Adventure Challenge.

I met up recently with a newly formed team who were getting together to pick the brains of experienced adventure racer Paul Mahon (who was on last year’s winning team!). They had entered for the Beast and over a cup of coffee were getting great advice about night time navigation and “team bonding” from Paul. I just tagged along for fun…(well I also brought cake!) ;-)

The team named Evil Edna is made up of Greg Byrne, Melanie Earwaker, Andreas Kusch and Jason Reid. I hope they do really well in their first non-stop, 24 hour plus adventure challenge! Best of luck!
