What I get paid to do

Managing Director for a food production (smoking of trout and salmon) business based near Basingstoke. 

Favorite food

If you’ve read the section above, I should really say trout!  But to be honest I have to say steak.

Ultimate hero and why

Still thinking about this, and will hopefully have an answer up here soon!!!! 

What I don’t get paid to do

Most things that involve socialising (drinking). Most evenings i can be seen either running or biking around the country lanes around home, the tyre is also ready for the polar training sessions that are due to start soon; I have also done a few polaris challenges (48hr mountain biking events) around the country.  2005 was my first season of triathlons and this has given me a number of targets to beat in 2006, (2004 had an aborted start – long story involving forklift truck and leg!), and when I have a bit of spare time I also like playing around with my Caterham 7.  Oh! and I try and fit in a couple of weeks a year skiing in Chamonix. 

Special qualities (that I bring to the team)

Being myself really, I like to think that I am a positive person with the ability to look at difficult situations and turn them into something more fun. 

Why? (am I doing this ridiculous challenge??)

What an opportunity; do something that very few people have ever done and raise money for a good cause at the same time.  There is always the thought of winning as well!
