Wintry challenge...

One for Ravenbait to get all ultra about: http://www.6633ultra.com/index.html

Okay, it's in March, but that's only because any earlier and the katabatic winds would mean DNF = Did Not Survive...

Actually... I wonder if the Edinburgh New Year tri has slots in the relay teams? How's Frood's running?

Endurance events favour the older athlete, remember? Though you better not mention it to Xeeny, after the trouble he got into for fire breathing!

I thought your next challenge was the Bob Graham Round anyway :)

Too much down. I think it would knacker my knees - coming down just Scafell was painful.

The 6633 Ultra is predominantly flat though. And I've always wanted to go to the arctic. And I have a good cold training ground here.

Ooooh!

I wanna play!

Frood's running creams mine. I just thrash him on the bike and in the water.

But... but... that's New Year's Day!

I will have a hangover!

Didja want to come up and do it?

Everyone will have a hangover! And it's just eight lengths of the big pool, you can do that holding your breath...
