The Call
WORDS Jamie Harman
Adventure starts at the edge of your comfort zone
It’s a quote framed on the wall of Jamie’s house. It wasn’t there before he undertook the Great Glen challenge, but it now hangs front and centre for all to see. The 92km endurance event had a profound effect on him and, as the UK sales manager for Red, a big impact on the team here at Red. As an avid paddler, Jamie is no stranger to the world of short- distance SUP racing. So, when he mentioned in passing one day that he had entered the Great Glen, it initially drew little attention from the team. As someone who is happier out of the spotlight, Jamie began preparing for this almighty challenge away from the hustle and bustle of the Red office. That was until it dawned on us just how far 92km is. What’s more, this was Jamie - not a professional athlete or paid team rider but a mere mortal. Just your regular guy attempting to take on something remarkable.
