This years plans are...

The 100mile South Sowns Randonee (Offroad Bike) for the second time. A British Heart Foundation organised event

Paras 10, The parachute regiment cross country run with a 35lb bergen on your back to be completed within 1h:50m.
Used to be part of the paras entrance examination. Not sure nowadays.

Interested to hear what other stupidly painful experiences people are doing.

Good luck with the marathon. I can't run for sh*t.

All for charity mate!
