Nick Arundell

Age: 34
Occupation: Public Servant
Hobbies:
Reading, Bushwalking, Army Reserve, Spending time with Family and Friends...Latte anyone?
Why I'm doing it:
It's a good cause plus it is physically challenging, something I can say hell yeah I did it one of life's achievements.
What I am feeling a week out:
Let's do it ...like now! Is my ego writing cheques my body cant cash?
Injury most likely to occur to me:
Just name one; I am probably the most accident prone of the group if I get away with only one type of injury I am doing well.
First Blister
I reckon I will have my first about the 60k mark ... more concerned about chaffing.

Elenore Lannigan

Age: 23
Occupation: Insurance Underwriter- Financial Lines
Hobbies:
Going to the beach, reading, anthropology, catching up with friends and family
Why I'm doing it:
Initially it was thought of as an incentive to get fit.... the closer it gets, the less fit I feel... Also a fantastic way to challenge yourself as well as helping out a good cause.
What I am feeling a week out:
O'ohhhhhh.....
Injury most likely to occur to me:
A roll of the ankle
First Blister
If I prepare properly, 50-60km. For some reason I do something wrong, the 30km mark.
