Carlyle Joins Team Helmut
April 17th 2008The team consists of Si Bayliff, Jules Bartlett and Andy Pocock, three friends from Loughborough University who formed Team Helmut in 2000. They’ve all been long time friends who are used to pushing each other to extremes. The team races for Charity and over the years Si, Jules and Andy have raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for numerous charities. It was Simon who asked me to join him for the 100km Trailwalker last year. I am truly honored to be invited to join. It took me about a second to say yes. Then Simon told of the next ‘biggy’. The YAU - Yukon Arctic Ultra. My first reaction was, ‘on second thought mate I gotta client to go see… I’ll call you’
The Yukon Arctic Ultra:
4 Friends
6 Days
18 Hours of sleep
20 Competitors
-30 Degrees Celsius
140 Hours on the course
515 Kilometres
The ‘YAU’ is considered by most adventure racers as the coldest and toughest foot race in the World.
No point going small…...gulp
