Cyprus Challenge 2017<br />
Kelly Amos<br />
A group of us went to Cyprus in<br />
November last year to take part in the 4<br />
Day International Challenge<br />
www.cypruschallenge.com<br />
We flew out on the Wednesday morning<br />
and were greeted by our holiday rep Pete<br />
Portnoi who accompanied us to our<br />
accommodation and local food and beer<br />
establishments!<br />
On the Thursday morning we all headed to<br />
a beautiful hotel on the coastline for<br />
registration.<br />
The first event of the series was that<br />
afternoon which consisted of a 6k time<br />
trial, starting at the hotel and being set off in number order via a hot and<br />
sunny course, all the way to a very scenic shipwreck, again on the coastline.<br />
This was great fun as everyone was running amongst all sorts of abilities and<br />
pace, and as a team we got to see one another finish the race.<br />
It was a mental battle between wanting to go for it as it was only 6k, and<br />
knowing that the bigger challenges were ahead of us!<br />
On day 2 (Friday) we headed to the bottom of a very mountainous course for<br />
the 11k Hill Run. This was what it said on the tin… we ran from the bottom of<br />
a mountain, all the way past Avakas Gorge to a sleepy village, where we all<br />
gathered together for an ice cream.<br />
