Nathan Fa'avae and Sophie Hart are part of New Zealand's most successful adventure racing team, combining kayaking, swimming, rafting, abseiling, and mountain biking and much, much, more.
As Team Avaya (formerly Seagate), they have won numerous world championships, before Nathan announced his retirement from adventure racing last year.
He then teamed up with Sophie to tackle the Yukon 1000 this year and took first place, with the second fastest time ever recorded. At 1000 miles, from Canada to the Arctic Circle, it's the world's longest, and considered the toughest paddle race.
The duo talk to Susie about some of the incredible experiences adventure racing has given them.
