Trans Peak challenge...

On the 21st of September we will be running a team event for the british heart foundation, I have done other events for this great charity but this time its going to be tough, its about 27 miles across the Dark peak in Derbyshire and will involve 9 stages involving cycling running and a steeple chase at the end, as if we wont be tired enough....



I work for Amscott (Scott Wilson) and we have a team of 6 people but only 4 need to be doing anystage at any one time, so others can rest. there are 4 blokes and two girls, the sections are timed and your team only has the slowest persons time recorded for positions, which i am hoping is a good thing as it means i only have to keep pace with the slowest person in the group on my stages,



We have a charity (Just giving page) here, if you wanted more info ....

Now i am supposed to be fit as i have ran a marathon this year and have another one in 4 weeks, but i have been very lazy and have not trained at all, and the other day a few of us went out to check the terrain out and we came across Bolt hill....mmm, well lets just say i never bolted up it...this was a son of a bitch of a hill, a steep long and drawn out beast which stings on the legs whatever your choosen position on the bike and it never seems to end, only two of us made it to the top....and we had suffered.



By the end of the day i was really tired, and we had achieved only a 5th of what will be expected of us on the day....this is not going to be pretty or easy....i think all of us will be caught of gaurd by this challenge, i will post again on completion.



laterz, im off for a run...!!!!
