Erin Mitchell

It all started for me… In 2005. I was working with Nick Hirschfield (regular totalsport winner) and he said it was the best event.

So we entered the 16km from Browns Bay having no real idea of what we were in for. As I was running down the coast the thoughts that I could have bought a bus ticket did occur to me. There were six of us entered and at our after match dinner all but one of us were bleeding, we had a broken rib, allot of chafing and we were all shattered.

Our partners were like why?

Classic moment / story / best part of the course… Last year we attempted the Full Monty for the first time and our support crew were on the beaches with all of our supplies in a corona box and it was the best sight as you came around the corner to see them there.

Newbie advice… Don’t have anything planned for the day after – except maybe a massage. Make sure your shoes have tread!

I keep coming back because… It makes you feel like a kid again!

In 2010 I'll be tackling the… Full Monty – I’m looking to improve my time from last year – weather and tide permitting.
