We’ve just recovered from a busy month here at Bigwave – gearing up for the challenges ahead and putting our charitable efforts into practice!
Graphic Designer, Joseba Altuna faced the challenging RockSolidRace on Saturday 15th March, whilst I braved the cold and early morning start on Sunday 23rd March and ran 10K, raising money for Age UK Exeter.
Thousands of people came from all over the country to take part in the popular RockSolidRace which boasts more obstacles per km than any other obstacle course event. Battling the cocktail of mud, sweat and nature’s finest hurdles for a gruelling 10K, Joseba and the rest of his team accomplished the course in 3hrs 19mins. By the looks of Joe, I think I got away lightly for my race!
I on the other hand, opted for the more gentle approach to a challenge! After a pre-race warm up courtesy of Fitness First, I fastened my MYZONE® belt and began the 10K race along with 800 other participants from Exeter’s Princesshay. It was a really forgiving route which meandered down through the River Exe valley finishing at Piazza Terricina at the Quay. Thankfully the rain held off and I crossed the finished line in an impressive 1hr 7mins (well at least my MYZONE® activity report tells me so!).
Team Bigwave is growing so expect a few more of these to come!
