Oi oi so I did it yesterday
Ended up literally (as in actually, not I use the word literally without knowing what it means) up to my nipples in a bog at one point and when I was dragged out twisted my knee so was pretty sure I wouldn't have managed a 2nd lap and didn't try.
Was a great course though. I was camping but packed up and headed home after it and got talking to one of the lads behind the bar at my local who saw my t shirt and said he wanted to try it this year but had no one to do it with so didn't bother. As a result we're going to try and get a team together fromt he pub, pick a charity and do it as a team next year.
I kind of wish I'd just hunkered down and done a 2nd lap but then I'm thinking - I just ran a half marathon with obstacles when a few years ago I wouldn't even walk a couple of hundred metres to the post office so I'll chalk that up to a victory
