Yeah, I'm not arguing with you, dg. You must be.

Yeah, no argument from me either. Have fun!

Wow. Last year was tough. It was nothing compared to this year, though. Between changes to the course (including a new very steep 5km climb, 5 extra creek crossings and more) and enormous amounts of mud due to two weeks of rain, I am staggered by how much harder the event was this year. We finished in 30:34:28 (about an hour longer than last year) with three of four team members - one dropped out due to a knee injury after taking a hard fall coming down one of the hills. For the last couple of hours, one other team member and I were so tired we were hallucinating and kept falling asleep while walking. I have discovered that you keep walking when this happens, but you don't judge direction well ;-).

If anyone gets the chance, you should do this or something like it. Once. I won't be doing it again, though.
