HOW I TRAIN
Andrea Mason
Andrea Mason is a Wiggle ambassador, endurance athlete and advocate for female reproductive health taking on the Sea to Summit Extreme challenge this year
Andrea’s successes are numerous and impressive but the one she’s most proud of might surprise you…
What’s the hardest race you’ve ever done?
It’s really hard to decide between three races.My most recent Sea to Summit Extreme Sea to challenge included swimming 38K around Lac Annecy, riding the gruelling Trail Du Mt Blanc and then running the insane Ultra Trail Du Mont Blanc! Running 170K is hard at the best of times, let alone after this distance of swimming and cycling. Another hard race was running the Everest Marathon, starting at Everest Base Camp. Unlike the other participants, I got altitude sickness descending rather than ascending and ended up on a drip after the race for two days. Finally, the 10K Santa Fun Run; there was nothing fun about running in a Santa outfit in knee-deep snow!
