Greg, Sue, Johnny, and Piers might not have won the world championships but they believe they could claim the title of the poshest team in the race. And possibly also the highest paid.

Most of the international teams were made up of people with part time jobs whose training also constituted a part time job. All four of Team iRULE (UK) were from West London, and worked in full-time jobs: Greg worked for a hedge fund; Sue, also from the investment management world; Piers, an investment banker; and Johnny, a consultant.

This picture shows the last stage of the race. After over six days of racing and a minimum of sleep, the team hiked over yet another moutain range and looked out over the highland glens, on the way to Fort William and some much deserved sleep.
