What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice and all things nice! What are little boys made of? Frogs and snails and puppy dogs tails! What are big girls made of? Adventure and wine and all things fine!
With this in mind....it makes deciding on team mates pretty easy!
Having raced relatively successfully last year as an All Girls Team, it seemed only natural to do it again.
Once again, the team Jack Russell and donkey, Janine, didn't waste time in putting her hand up! She just can't resist any form of adventure. I even got her to pull an all-nighter fishing trip with me....with some rather impressive results. So at least we won't starve out there!
Next to be rounded up was our pocket rocket pilot. I've had the privilege of knowing Jess since she was just about knee high to a grass hopper (not that much has changed) but she can only be described as delightful! She brings a fabulous combination of smiles, ability and determination. Anybody who flies planes for a living has got to be cool!
And last but very definitely not least is the inspiring Kim van Kets. I'm really not sure where to begin with Kim. Every picture of her just exudes passion for what she does and who she is. Married to multi adventurer Peter van Kets just magnifies her adventurous spirit and I'm really thrilled to have her join our team.
As always, the hardest part of any race is getting the team together and to the race. Being all girls, we have a few extra challenges thrown at us such as motherly duties over and above our day jobs. But it's all part of the challenge and somehow we manage to juggle our lives to fit in training so that we are able to go out and enjoy the best that life has to offer.
