The team’s countdown to the event!

As part of our training for the event in 2007, we have found that 2006 is going to be a busy year.  Along with compulsory training events organised by the Polar Challenge, we will also be taking part in various other competitive and non-competitive events as team deep freeze.  A number of these will be team-building events for ourselves as the thought of spending 3 weeks in a tent with anyone is certainly a concern.

 January – March 2006

  • Skiing in Chamonix (supplied by Nomadic Ski Holidays)
    • We need to explain to Doug what skis are and how they work!!
  • There’s been talk of entering ‘Tough Guy 2006’  
  • 3 Peaks training day - Snowdon
  • Polaris Challenge
    • 2 day competitive mountain bike event
  • Step up in training to include running with tyres.

 April – June 2006

  • Ball to be held in London
  • Camping weekend
    • Location to be confirmed but likely to be somewhere cold!
  • 3 peaks challenge

 July – September 2006

  • Various Triathlons
    • Some individual entries but also some as team deep freeze
  • Charity Golf Day

  • Oh, nearly forgot more tyre running!
