Well…..

         As you can read here, and here I am entering the Tough Guy competition.  It was an excuse to get fit and lose wieght really; with the added bonus of an enormous mental challenge to boot. And it is tomorrow!!!

My kit bag:

 

You can see: 

• Cross country North Face running trainers, courtesy of Mark Hastings of Sandhurst fame.
• Creatine Tablets - for extra muscle power
• Dextrose tablets for energy
• Support socks with anti blister design
• Vaseline to ease chafing and to assist water runoff
• Duct tape to seal the top of my shoes and tie them onto my feet, lest the mud sucks them off!
• Pins to affix my running number to my shirt
• Gloves to protect my pinkies on the rope sections
• Spectators Passes for Maria and Karen (my sister in law)
• Parking Permit
• Death Warrant!!!!! this signs my life away…..

I ran 2 miles today with a couple of dextrose tablets and a  dose of creatine and felt a million odllars by the time I got home. I am rather suprised that I am not nervous at all.

I predict a couple of my team members will drop out/not turn up, no names mentioned.  I certainly wont, and I’ll post a picture of the medal on sunday evening.

Wish me luck - I’ll need it.
