Maledictus Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Right so I've decided the challenge routine isn't really working out for me so I'll be dropping off race descriptions and random witterings here.(Place holder for now). Have a video to watch while you're waiting for something to appear here. Came dead last in this event. That happens a lot . You get to see me @ 13 seconds in.

Maledictus Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Dirty Dozen races today. 12k @ 10am - elite wave so I was truly humiliated.Got back @ 12:45, so missed the 12:30 6k elite wave - so I went in the next one. Which was an interesting change of pace.Load of fun, pics to follow.

Maledictus Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 So I got to go round the Airfield Anarchy course to (p)review it for mudstacle - looking very promising indeed. http://www.mudstacle.com/2015/04/airfield-anarchy-set-to-take-off-the-first-summer-mudstacle-league-announcement.html I'm working on 5/3/1 at the moment and re-read it in my lunch break. Turns out I should have been adding 5/10 lbs to my MAX each month - I've been adding it to each and every lift. I thought squats were getting a bit brutal. I'll re-calculate at the end of this month. A couple of pics from Dirty Dozen - I've got bored of pics on obstacles and just gurn with UK OCR celebrities these days ... Running in http://www.muddykit.co.uk/shop/icebug-acceleritas4-rb9x-3 at the moment and really like them. My gym also has a full set of monkey bars and a climbing rope, so I'm pretty happy these days...

Maledictus Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Dirty Weekend yesterday. 20 miles, 200 obstacles, completely brutal. The cold water and evil wind meant a fair few people had hypothermia and I ended up falling asleep at parts of the course (have no idea what that was about). Also did this on the friday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZBQB9jGmZM Quote "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself" -- TolstoyNot sure if it was buzz or woody that said it though.

Charlie_Quinn Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I just watched the highlights video from Dirty Weekend on Mudstacle. You're not kidding, that looked brutal, but also quite fun! Except for the hypothermia part, that doesn't sound nice at all! 1 Quote Current: Assassins / Instagram Previous: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44 2020 Races: CANCELLED!

Maledictus Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I just watched the highlights video from Dirty Weekend on Mudstacle. You're not kidding, that looked brutal, but also quite fun! Except for the hypothermia part, that doesn't sound nice at all! It was a brilliant weekend. I got a little freaked out by just how many people knew me. The hypothermia was bad, mainly because last year it was pretty warm so I underestimated it - you expect and plan for it at winter tough guy, not this one... You absolutely should do Dirty weekend at least once. Nothing else like it.

Maledictus Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Nuclear weekend!Managed to pull a muscle in my calf on thursday, just before a race. Luckily I was doing it with my two eldest children, so I wasn't too worried about pace.They both did brilliantly. My son is just old enough to do these and he struggled a bit as he is also quite short for his age - but he managed everything brilliantly, if slowly and methodically. My eldest got a bit sick of waiting for us both so she asked if she could come back and do it again the next day with me. I was already coming back to help a friend round so I said sure. I asked the race director and he was fine with it so long as we stuck together (she's only 15). The odd thing is that even though the 6k and the 12k have different age limits, all the tough stuff is on the common section of both courses. We did the 12k in 30 minutes more than the 6k the day before, so pretty happy with that. Of course, I was in severe pain by the end of day two, which showed a bit in the pics. On the plus side, all that appears to have loosened it up a bit. 1 Quote "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself" -- TolstoyNot sure if it was buzz or woody that said it though.

AgentsSka Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Love the family pics. So awesome. 1 Quote Current Challenge || Previous:: 2020 Reset There are a ton of previous challenges that I'm not linking "Freaking pansies. Go work out!" - The Art of Clineliness Link to comment
QuirkyDM Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I just did a family course with my kids and wife on the weekend, too. My wife was definitely the slow one, but it kept the kids under control considering they have no experience running on mountains. I'm enjoying the chance to really start doing these with the kids. 1 Quote Quirky DM My Battle Log: QuirkyDM going Quazy "Success is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure." Link to comment
