Henry Newell

Introduction: hey i've been running for years, finished a few long races including two marathons, and i'm really interested in trail running and training other muscles. I'm also looking for a fun group of people that can help keep me motivated and drink beer with.
Have you ever reached a point in an adventure (race or not) where getting dirtier/wetter didn't matter any more? Did that feel like despair or freedom?: it never felt like despair, but i don't think it felt like freedom, it just felt fun, and i knew i had to keep going.
Have you ever mountain biked on a trail at night?: never at night, and only a few times on trails in general. i mainly ride my mountain bike on the road. yeh, mountain bike on the road, i'm slightly an idiot.
Have you learned how to use a compass and map to navigate?: yeh, i used to be a boy scout, but i haven't touched a compass in a while.
Have you participated in an adventure race before? What is interesting to you about AR?: no, but they seem really f*ing cool
What's your strongest AR discipline - biking, paddling, trekking, ropes, navigation? Your weakest?: running
