Individually, we've always been sportspeople, just pursuing different avenues. In 2015, those avenues coincided on a trip to Kittila, a small town in northern Finland where we'd gone to learn cross-country skiing and the skills to function in the Arctic. We found we had a lot of ambitions in common, so we stayed in touch and that turned into a relationship. It also turned into doing all of our climbing, biking, skiing, running and pretty much everything else together.

Since that first trip, we've climbed Mulhacen, Ben Nevis, Elbrus and a few alpine 4000m mountains together. We've skied across Hardangervidda, climbed lots of hills, mountainbiked loads of trails, canoed miles of rivers, cycled 1000's of kilometres, run many races and crewed for each other in the longest ultramarathons. It's been a blast and we're only getting started.

Unusually for us, we're taking on two different projects at the moment, though luckily the training is similar enough that we can put in a lot of the preparation together.
