Coast to Coast AR Television Broadcast dates

You may have noticed a film crew out during your last running race or triathlon.  Dream Team Television covers many popular fell running, triathlon and adventure racing events in the UK.  I certainly ran into a few cameramen (not literally!) during the 4 days of the Adidas TERREX Coast to Coast Adventure Race.   Even got to wave to the helicopter as the race leaders passed me going over a heather-covered moor. 
Dream Team broadcasts air on UK Channel 4 throughout the year.   Here's the link, notice that times and dates may change http://www.dreamteamtelevision.co.uk/broadcast-dates/
I may be featured in one of their next productions, as I finished third woman in the Coast to Coast Adventure Race back in August! 
adidas TERREX Coast to Coast
Part 1 – Sunday November 13th 6.55–7.20 on Channel 4
Part 2 - Sunday November 20th 0730 am (or could be at 0655)

(If you don't have UK TV then hopefully there will be an online version available later)

I can't wait to see it, as this was the coolest race I've ever done, loved every minute!

  2. Dawn, I've just watched both episodes on 4OverDose. All I can say is, the TV company is elitist and only interested in the winners. I'm well miffed that you didn't appear. How superficial are they? All I saw was your name a few times bottom left, in all its low resolution, pixellated blurredness.
    You were solo through all of that? With that swimming? Are you serious? :-0

  3. Nick, actually I did sneak in there 2 or 3 short times, although it helped that I knew what I was wearing! I thought the coverage of the countryside was great, especially the shots from the helicopters as I hadn't seen that view before. I think all television shows like this are going to focus on the winners, to a large extend...and I WAS 5 hours behind by the end!

    It was quite a race, and I'm inspired to aim higher when I do it again in two years. Let's see, if I get a faster kayak, speed through transitions, and swim without a wetsuit (brrr), then I might have a fighting chance... :)
