Mad - you're completely nuts - and a breath of fresh air!
I'm dead impressed with your performance - and with why you're doing it. Keep on going ..... but you are allowed a break at Christmas!!
I didn't get to do the Robin Hood at the weekend cos of family issues, so instead I'll sponsor you again a) when you finish Snowdonia, and also b) if I don't come last at the Derby duathlon which is the same day as Snowdonia marathon.
Just keep thinking of the smiles on those kid's faces ....
that is me bouncing down a slightly long n steep hill coming back into Glenridding ... nice quad pounding session. is a must to do !!!!!!!!!! get it on your race list for next year.
£50 for NSPCC if you get the body wax done - supervised and verified by your wife (unless she's squeamish, or too soft-hearted??). After Helvellyn and Eastnor it would be just another 'walk in the park'....
I did this as well as my first one and had a fantasticly enjoyable day - although I was 100 odd places behind you by the sound of it.
It was good for me because I like doing good distances on the bike but ,dont really enjoy the run at all - and to be honest, at my end of the race the first half (going up the mountain) was more of a brisk climb than a run, while once you had got down the steep bit at the top the second bit was a very pleasant slope down. Are there any other events like this?

Still think you'd have been faster downhill if you'd shaved your legs....
might do the ultimate in mad & get a body wax for charity ... then again I might just donate a kidney (be less painful)

Have a nice day!!
One day...
swim 1500m
bike 38 mile
run 8 mile
kind of like an olympic but more vertical than most
well worth the entry many times over - hoping i can fit it in again next year
If I'm still here next year I'll see about siging up! (Hopefully I'll be in Aus though...)
