It's just a bit of fun isn't it - scramble over a few nets, crawl through a few tunnels - how hard it that?

candy ollier

just cold isn't it?

mind you SLSC winter sessions at Tooting are pretty cold by all accounts

marshallini

it's only cold if you stop.

marshallini

how people get round in 3+ hours and still live is beyond me.

Come on then Smithy - do it with a cross on your back or summat. That should toughen the challenge up a bit for you.

candy ollier

he's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy

AndrewSmith

cougie

Jesus Warrior or summat like that, so that's where the crucifix thing comes into it.

Hi Ken,
Just read you message. TG is okay. I've done it a few years back and live a few miles from where it's held. The advice I'd give is get a lot of upper body training in as well as the running. Stamina is very important. As is a good sense of humour. Changing facilities are basic. Everyone in a barn. Don't expect any mod cons at all. A cuppa and a silver blanket is all you get at the end. Get some people to go with you for support and maybe pass on any drinks you may need en route to the finish. There's loads of mud! It's a great sense of acheivement when you finish. If your overall fitness is okay you'll get round the course okay. Have fun!
