Having completed 3 consecutive solo finishes in what is considered to be one of the toughest races on the planet - The Race Across America in 2007, 2008 & 2009 and going faster each year, Jim Rees has a deep understanding of what it takes to push beyond what most people think is possible.
Cycling just over 3,000 miles non stop from the West coast to the East coast of America. Battling against sand storms, the extreme temperatures of the desert combined with the freezing conditions of the mountain passes of the Rockies & Appalachians, on top of dealing with hallucinations due to sleep depravation, Jim knows about the sort of mindset a team needs to be able to perform and be able to sustain that performance.
Jim is no stranger to endurance races, he's competed in 10 Ironman triathlons around the world including the famous Hawaii Ironman and has represented GB in his age group in 2 world long course championships. Jim also set a new world record for 24 hours of non stop cycling on a static Watt bike at last years London Cycle show cycling 448 miles.
