This episode we chat to about her leap in to the world of adventure racing, with Team Canada Adventure placing second in the World’s Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji.
Not to be confused with World’s Toughest Mudder, this week-long adventure race saw teams of five battle it out through jungles, rivers, ropes, rocks, sea, sand and mud on very little sleep and a whole lot of tenacity.
As a newbie in this sport we wanted to know - how did she do it, would she do it again, and is this the end of Rea’s time as an OCR athlete?
