I am proud to say that my team and I completed the course. We did it in 4 hours.
I have to confess that the last 2 ish miles I had to walk. I had an incredibly sharp pain that went through my left knee every time I tried to carry on running. Yes, I could have gone to the first aider but I was sure he/she would have said I had to stop the challenge and that was not going to happen. Therefore I decided to walk the rest, I still did every obstacle, and when I could I would jog a bit before the pain came back to my knee.
Oh yes, there was a lot of mud and it was great fun. My team consisting on Josh, Simon, John and boyfriend Richard was perfect. We had such a laugh, and that is what is key when doing one of these challenges. When you go with friends, or make friends on the journey, or even acquaintances, the important factor is making sure you are enjoying it. Yes it is hard and testing, however, the journey is just as important as the finish line.
Will I do it again? Oh yes, I will do. I already started planning the challenges for next year, which include climbing Ben Nevis, doing Spartan race (all three of them) and doing the Bear Grylls race.
And here are the photos!
And to my team, all I have to say... GoPro & Pork Pie
