‘Team Sichel’ travelling to Athens willbe experienced campaigner Alan Young, retired water engineer from Dundee, who has crewed for me in nearly all my races since 1994.

He will be joined by Tim Rainey (Sale Harriers Manchester) for the first week.  Tim has crewed for me in Badwater, the Hamm 6 Day race and Keswick (Commonwealth Championships).  An experienced runner, at distances up to 24 hours, himself and now an experienced crewman as well.

Back at home in Sanday, my training advisor, Shaun Brassfield-Thorpe from www.ultrafitnesstraining.com will be the web/blog master throughout the event.

I’m indepted to Alan, Tim and Shaun for their support with this race.
