    I do know there is one incredibly good runner here. Who has done the toughest endurance event on the planet. But wants to remain anonymous.

    Im basically going solo from now on - but I would do a swim as part of a relay.

    BTW Vetran would like to relay the bike section with you. He wants to do the bit where he goes down hill or chats to the pretty ladies ("It would be rude not to chat").
    I could manage the double distance on the bike given time to train for it. 100+ is not a problem, i'll need a bit of work to get up to 200+. Not claiming any speed records but definitely doable. No idea about the brutal, I get the impression that's less about the distance and more about the terrain.

    Do the do Tandem Entries? He'd have to go on the back though, no-way I'm staring at his arse for 12 hours.

        Brillo - well done, you freak!

        Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

          Had to run to Greggs last week to get in before they closed. Hardest thing ever.

              You know I can't go that slow, my bottom gears don't work!

              Some have it, some don't.

                vetran cycling down hill is the personification of Newton's Laws.

                      Incredibly tough, just day after day of running through sand dunes and rocky ground with a back pack on, limited water, 2200 calories a day, 50 degrees by midday. 50 mile stretch on the 4th day took me so far past what I thought was possible, I would say what I was going through was a controlled nervous breakdown, you are trying to follow people in the dark and you are questioning if they are real, hallucination is pretty common.

                      An hour after the race they removed the infected skin from my feet whilst I lay on the floor of a tent, I had to get tramadol for the next few days until I got back home. I don't know how more people don't die, someone's heart stopped, another was in a coma for a week and that is just the ones I have heard about. I would love to go back and do it again but I don't think I will be allowed.
