Default Run Forest, Run!

Ladies and Gents,

Over the last few years I've made a contribution to various charities through marathons, santa dashes and adventure races (over £10k). And now I'm stuck. I'm stuck between family life, training and raising money for charity.

NSR is a massive power, usually for speaking a slightly right-wing mind. What I need from you all now is direction. Where do I go from here race wise? I'm beingn dragged towards coast to coast but need another team member (and team sponsorship). I've a few on the cards but need a team:

1. Drambuie Challenge
2. Coast to Coast
3. Other: Suggest in you post (but I'm not quite up to marathon de sables)

I give IT help to a chap that before turning up at my house at 9am has already biked 12 miles and watched the sun come up. I tudge to the door having just woken up.

He is gearing up for an Iron Man competition in the summer - makes me sweat just listening to what he has to do.

What is coast to coast? What RA Dunk says? That would be quite an achievement

If you do the Coast to Coast and come up our way, you will have to call in for a cuppa.
Coast to Coast crossses the track just up from our house

Complete the following steps.
1/ Fly to Sharm El Sheik
2/ get yourself into a hotel (any will do)
3/ Find some russians (this will not be difficult)
4/ Start playing "russian roulette". For reference, Russian roulette is an extreme sport I invented when i was out there. It is the art of pulling an attractive russian laydee who is blatantly the wife and/or girlfriend of a russian gangster. For 'Extreme' edition, try pulling the daughter of a russian gangster. Dangerous, but exciting!
5/ Play as many rounds as you dare. If you return home with all your bits attached, you win!

HTH,
astraboy.

Depends on what you want to do. Others can suggest, but only you can do it.

Personally I have an inch to someday do the Lakeland 50 and 100, but thats probably not your think as a triathelete type bloke.
