Saturday was not easy. At all. Ended up taking four hours for an 8.5 mile 'run'. Obstacles were: 4' walls 6' walls 8' walls 6' inverse walls Net...
2cellos cover of Aviici's Wake Me Up. Nice triumphant music, and the rest of their Celloverse album.
Race start in four hours. No sign of rain. This will be unpleasant.
You may regret that - how do you feel about going for a MAP team for Spartan GB in 2019? Advanced warning is that I will almost certainly be the...
Training for this week. Monday 1k swim 4k walk Chin up count: 22 Tuesday 22 chin ups (throughout the day on and off, not in a single set) Boxing...
Somewhere between 12-16k, it varies. Plus some obstacles. This is the middle one - the 20+k one isn't until October so it should be cooler and...
I would be absolutely fine with that, but don't get to select my start time. Apparently it will peak at 29 on Saturday, and I'm starting out at...

I'll put up a sunscreen review on Sunday, assuming I survive Saturday. :)
Well that saves me a tanning session. Industrial SPF 50+ it is then.

As I'm back on MAP, and have been back in proper training for a few months now, a training log seems a good way to try and hold myself to account...
My own home made barrel-aged mead (two years old, made from my own honey) is a first but a limited first as there's only a small amount of it....
Thanks. :) We'll need it as we're expecting multiple failures and mistakes before we get it right. We're trying to learn from other's mistakes...
For the honey, which will hopefully become for the mead (mostly). The idea is to sell enough that the project becomes self-funding, with a little...
Offer them marshmallows. They're easily bribed. You just need to learn to have pun. :p
They're only beginning their training, give them a chance. Three of the hives are in place now, and we should be picking up the last within the...
Anywhere from £150 upwards, unless you put your own together. That doesn't include the cost of the bees, or the starter wax. We've been lucky in...
Yep, we've had a lot of different ideas all cross-pollinating. Currently the plan is to wing it, though I don't want to drone on in too much detail.
