    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.

    Certainly impressive.

    I have been toying with the idea of it myself, but you may have succeeded in putting me off.

    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.
    Fecking hell.

    And this is the bit the confirms you should be certified.


    Seriously, well done - impressive achievement.

    It takes a certain something to make BP look normal.

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

    Some have it, some don't.
