Guys,

I'm trying to raise sponsorship for the NSPCC.

This June I will be leading a team of 6 in the Microsoft UK Challenge against over 120 other teams. Over the 4 days of the challenge I will run equivalent to 2 marathons, mountain bike about the same, canoe, problem solve, construct and be deprived of sleep.

Last year we finished 18th and I lost 1/2 stone in 4 days despite eating 6000 calories/day. This year with an experienced team I reckon we might just make a top 10 spot.

You guys know the good work the NSPCC does, I and over 800 other people will be running our backsides off for them. If you can spare a tenner then please visit:
https://www.sponsorshipform.org.uk/sponform.asp And sponsor team #66 (LogicaCMG Financial Services)

Many thanks in advance

Mods - any chance of making this sticky until the 12th June please?

Cheers mate, YHPM

Doing 2x 8 mile runs a week now as well as the regular training routine.

We have a competitive team training weekend coming up, about 30 of the teams that will be taking part in the event itself. The weekend will be a 5 stage race with night nav, construction, biking as well as a whole bundle of running.

im happy to send my pslewis sponsership to you. id rather not plonk my card details on to bill gates system if you dont mind though, ile happily paypal it to you.

SJ_Skyline

Thank you everybody who has sponsored us so far!

Got back from last weekend's "Competitive Training" - I feel like I've been beaten up

29 Teams took part, we came 3rd.

All stages had some element of puzzle solving about them, for example stage 3 was based on scrabble with us collecting letters at each checkpoint and trying to get the highest score possible at the finish line with the letters we had ("workings" on 2 triple word scores ).

Stage 1 - 8km night nav run and construction
Stage 2 - 14km bike (Would have been quicker to run)
Stage 3 - 12km run
Stage 4 - 4km run
Stage 5 - Night time construction
Stage 6 - Kayaked 8km (The other part of the team ran 26km!)

It doesn't sound like much but when you look at the map:
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap...140700&A=Y&Z=4 and consider we were based at Kilve Court (60m above sea level) at the north of the map and had to run up those hills several times (300+ m above sea level)

Neverguess
