Why did you enter the Challenge?
- Edward - I was on the 'organisational' side of the event in 2006, saw the faces of the competitors at the race finish and they inspired me... I decided there and then that this is a "must do" challenge for me.
Also, to challenge myself physically and mentally, to help support the Mark Webber Challenge Foundation and its beneficiaries, to meet and get to know motivated, likeminded people in the most magnificent location on the planet and as an ex-pat Tasmanian - experience the state from a totally new perspective.
- Warren - Have seen it on Television over the past few years and always wanted to do it! I love the Tasmanian wilderness and doing the challenge with likeminded motivated people will be awesome.
How did you come together as a team?
- Edward - Brought together by a mutual friend and out of a desire to have a crack at this terrific event.
- Warren - Introduced by a friend, my original team mates whimped out.

What makes your team different from the rest?
