Background (Reasons for attempting The Race)
I have taken part in a number of adventure races since 2011. I completed the first edition of "The Race" in March 2014. It was a fantastic experience as It was my first ultra endurance event. I want to go back to Donegal in 2016 to relive this experience and hopefully improve on my first performance this time around.
