Wildeboer now Danish NTC coach, national coach to be named later

Adlington blogs from Amazing Africa
See rebeccaadlington.co.uk, they are doing it for charity, and you can donate at JustGivingI knew the bike ride was going to be difficult but I don’t think I realised quite how hard it would be. It was without a doubt the hardest challenge I’ve ever done. The first day was 80 miles, which was hardcore to say the least. Unfortunately, Jo Jackson and I weren’t feeling too great and Jo had a little fall on the bike too. But, true to form, she got straight back on and carried on.
