Find inspiration and face your demons (or Dragons…)
At last today sees the start of the London 2012 Paralympic Games. Our 300-strong British team have faced incredible challenges to get where they are today and their success at reaching Olympic level is an inspiration to us all in what’s achievable in sport and life.
At Countryside Ski & Climb we are excited about another lesser known challenge – the legendary Dragon’s Back Race – a gruelling 5 day UK mountain marathon across Wales. Only having been staged once before in 1992 it is equally amazing to see Helene Whitaker (nee Diamantides) competing again 20 years after her victory in the first one. She beat, amongst others, a team of paratroopers and a whole field of respected male runners. So, no excuses; get out and give your sport your best efforts!
