Gearing up for the Charge
| 27 May 2010
Rhino Charge rush... the last few days have been busy for all the teams getting their cars ready, organising camping equipment, ordering food and drink supplies, ensuring medical kits have been double and triple checked, checking our own medical insurance cover, ensuring we know each others blood group, and last minute fitness. The Charge is a team effort - the officials of Rhino Ark who have spent the last six months gearing up to the Charge, us the competitors and all those who sponsor the teams taking part.
This is Car 17's 7th charge. I am not sure it gets easier - perhaps its just nerves. We know the score. We know it's going to be hard. So much effort has gone into this one day - from all - officials, sponsors and competitors and so much rides on those ten hours of the charge. We know what areas we have to focus on. We are a strong team - we are focused and we take our time to plan our route. But we get nervous too and know that the day will hurt but it is such a rewarding experience to do this with 5 really good friends.
Most importantly, it is about us all enjoying our time together - our extended camp of friends and family total 6 teams - whilst raising funds for Rhino Ark Charitable Trust. We are also extremely competitive and have our own goals for that day ! We will keep you all updated about the event and Car 17's participation.
