Team SOBER have a secret weapon
11 November 2009
On the face of it the profile of team SOBER, Bruce, Trevor, Caroline and James is typical of the teams entering next May’s mountain triathlon. Bruce is a vet who enjoys the mountains when he can find the time to get away. Trevor & James likewise try to fit sporting activities around hectic lifestyles. Each of them will be increasing their training over the coming months to be in a position to compete with the best of the Sophie’s Legacy teams, but confidence is high in their camp. The reason being that they have a secret weapon.
Caroline Bullard may be just a vet during the day but in the evenings and weekends she swaps the green scrubs and wellies for lycra and an aerodynamic helmet. Caroline is one of Britains leading adventure racers.
As part of her training for the Sophie’s Legacy mountain triathlon Caroline is currently in Portugal competing in the Adventure Race World Championships. Here with her (other) team, Accelerate, she is into day 3 of 6 and will have covered 900Km by the time she finishes on Saturday.
