Team Changes

I wanted to write something to add to what Jenni has said. We're really sad to lose Jenni from the team but incredibly happy that we're not losing her altogether and that she'll be joining the support crew. The team will be relying heavily on the support crew who therefore need to be people we trust completely and can rely on for anything and everything. I happen to think our support crew will be amazing- they're already doing a brilliant job with fundraising, organisation and thinking up creative ideas for the event itself.

You may think that that the support crew has a much easier job so I think it's worth pointing out a few things:

1). They are awake for as long as we are and while they may also be tired, they have to pretend not to be so they can support us with cheering and cake (and tea... of course)!
2). They have to navigate their way to checkpoints and arrive at the right time to meet us- get there late and we'll be a very annoyed team.
3). They have to supply anything and everything we may need plus stuff we may never have actually thought of! This includes things to cheer us up, take away pain, and generally keep us going even when every little part of us has had enough and wants to give up.
4). They also have to go through some training- they're not going to just turn up at the event and know what to do.

So, you may think Jenni now has an easier job but to be perfectly honest it's going to have a whole different set of challenges!

I also want to welcome Steve to the team. I think it's now up to me and Robyn to train hard enough to be as fit as the guys so we don't get left behind...

Thanks for all the support we've got so far, please sponsor us if you haven't already and look out for the quiz taking place in June!
