minnie's Moroccan mega-marathon

[OwlHoot]

It was incredibly fun looking back, I would love to do it again and would recommend anyone ( especially young ) to do it.

Anyway, here is a funny picture of what they drew out of just one blister on the 3rd day.

Crikey, I had no idea minestrone, or "minnie" as I suppose we should now call her, is a girl

INT. SAIGON HOTEL - DAY

The CAMERA MOVES slowly across the room...and we SEE
WILLARD, a young army captain. He looks out the window to
the busy Saigon street.

WILLARD (V.O.) *
Saigon...tulip. I'm only in Saigon.
Every time, I think I'm gonna wake
up back in the jungle.

He moves back to the bed, lies down. He's unshaven,
exhausted, probably drunk. We SEE alcohol bottles, photos,
documents scattered on the table.

WILLARD (V.O.)
When I was home after my first
tour, it was worse. I'd wake up
and there'd be nothing. I hardly
said a word to my wife until I
said yes to a divorce. When I was
here, I wanted to be there. When
I was there...all I could think of
was getting back into the jungle.
I'm here a week now. Waiting for
a mission. Getting softer. Every
minute I stay in this room, I get
weaker. And every minute Charlie
squats in the bush...he gets
stronger. Each time I looked
around...the walls moved in a little
tighter.

He's up now, naked, going into a frenzy, drinking, doing
some sort of martial arts, eventually collapsing onto the
floor.

FADE OUT:

FADE IN:

INT. SAIGON HOTEL - STAIRWAY - DAY

Two extremely sharp army men walk up the stairs to Willard's
room, a SERGEANT and a PRIVATE.

WILLARD (V.O.)
Everyone gets everything he wants.
I wanted a mission. And for my
sins, they gave me one. Brought
it up to me like room service.

They knock on the door. A second knock.

SERGEANT
Captain Willard, are you in there?

WILLARD
Yeah I'm coming.

The army men wait for him.

WILLARD (V.O.)
It was a real choice mission. And
when it was over, I'd never want
another.

I think that is a long winded way to say I have signed up again

Nutter!

Good luck.

[Coalman]

I may disagree with your views on the world but well done! I think.

Absolute nutter!

[MarillionFan]

Flip me, I'm so glad I'm not fit enough to do that.

It's like hard drugs - You'd feel like an absolute vegetable, and probably think like one, if you didn't run 20 miles one day

I don't think people who lived in caves would test themselves to the limit for fun, they had enough to worry about

WHS

Some caveman would have been looking out watching Minnie running around the desert almost killing himself and then thought to himself. I'm going to invent the wheel.

Then a few years later he looks out to see Minnie hurtling around the desert on his new cart and thinks. **** it, I need to invent the NHS.

WTheabsoluteF made you do that???

[TykeMerc]

You're utterly bonkers, but I guess you already know that

[minestrone]

WTheabsoluteF made you do that???

No idea, I just knew it was there and it had to be done.

Last time the course absolutely hammered me, mentally & physically, I want to go back and get the better of it. I got a decent place but I want to get top 100. I think the key is to use spin bikes, get massive quads and plough through the sand. What Cracknell did.

here is the video..

Although it would have been nice to have a thermal physiologist there testing your piss for you.

Nice way of getting a tan. How is training going?
