Forecast is rain, which would be nice if it wasn't for the fact that my costume will weigh about a ton!!
So how did you get on - we want a picture too!!
Hi all
Well, I did it.
Not a great time this year at all. It was so muggy and hot, I was really struggled. Then the rain came and that didn't help either!
But my watch said 2:18 (official time was 2:21 but they're always out for some reason!!)
Here are a few of pictures of the day....

Well done DMT.
The pictures are great and such a great cause.
Top Job
Gooner
Brilliant DMT!
As Gooner said top job and great costume, top man.
Well done fella
Danny 🙂
Cheers guys!
The costume was a killer (again). After about 5 miles all I could think was "how can I forget how hard this is!!"
Got my next one lined up.......

Anything with the warning: IT IS NOT NECESSARY THAT YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SWIM BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THE COURSE MAY WELL BE UNEVEN, SLIPPERY, STONY AND WET...
Must be good.............. mustn't it?????
Got my next one lined up.......
Could always try the Ironman challenge 😀
Funnily enough, I am thinking of doing an ironman. My only problem is my swimming is awful!!
I watched a program recently about a 40+ year old guy who couldn't swim very well so he had lessons because he wanted to do triathlons. The next year he did 4. I'm considering lessons, but I just dunno!
The hellrunner, in the link above is like the Toughguy series. Through bogs, up massive hills, over flaming hay bails......that kind of thing.
Not sure about the Superman costume for that!!
Funnily enough, I am thinking of doing an ironman.
I was just joking - looks like you got the last laugh 😆
I was reading about these, and it's not simply that they do these task, but that they do them in such a short time!!
Mind you, the run you are planning looks hard enough (for which read 'impossible' in my case as a brisk walk with the dogs is my limit) 🙁
