helly, tights and wooly hat were fine other wise.

I used weightlifters fingerless gloves, Petals idea of waterproof, thin and then fingerless sounds good.
*** Ooh hark at him!! With allt his talk he'll be back next year!!).
And two pairs long lycra shorts, and ordinary pair of shorts on top, HH thermal, short leeve top, topped by long sleeve top. Two pairs socks, feet well vaselined first. AND my hat, stored in a waterproof bag down the back off my shorts. Stayed dry until Death Plunge, I took it off before underwater 'tunnel". Held on to it on Icy plunge,
swam . walked to edge and wrung it out, it's fleece, popped it back and result warm head. (This is relative of course)
Now I was out for along time and have to say I only got really cold when I was stationary, up the Behomoth in the queue.
I was ok when I woke now I can hardly move!
a completely awesome event and great to meet you all - see you next year when I plan to beat Richard (to the bar at least)
cheers
Rich
I have the proud honour of being fifth from last at 4hrs 17mins!!! I can honestly say though I did every obstacle - the hard way -so am exonerated (I hope) from any shame. Was a bit pi**ed off until I realised 1250 DNF, AND hearing that some people ducked out of some of the obstacles!!!
Seriously everyone deserves a big congrats just for turning up. That was something else. Haven't stopped smiling although I might be on a downer now as am starting to feel rotten and have a headache.
Good to see everyone and good to meet you AJH.
PS On the gloves front a pair of latex gloves under climbing gloves did the trick perfectly.
(stanley won't get through the caked on mud)
that did make me chuckle!!
do you think there was another member of her family counting them all in at the other end??
NEVER, EVER, EVER btw!
A girl near the back was going under the tunnel and every time she came up for air she let out three enormous screams.
After the third time, The Count turned to me and said... Bl**dy hell, I bet she is noisy in bed!... at which point her friend who was standing just to his left videoing the whole thing said she had managed to catch his comment on tape!
tomorrow fellow TG'ers (and supporters and those who tried but DNF'd)
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
