Tweety's Slimming World Adventure - Day 3

Today is the day! I have been apprehensive all week but when the day came I was ready and raring to go! I don't know what turned me around, I think it must have been the energy of the people in my team from the moment I met them at the gym even though it was the coldest morning of the season so far and it was Sunday morning at 7am! and then when we arrived at the site I just wanted to get start on the course, it looked scary but I wanted to get round it!
I started the day with a good breakfast of weetabix and skimmed milk, followed by a banana when we arrived and jelly beans for sugar before we started!

And so 4 hours and god knows how may obstacles, water pools, running, slipping, rope swinging, cargo net scrabbling, type jumping, tunnel crawling and electric shocks later... plus a bit of fire hopping we crossed the finish line and were awarded with an official Tough Guy donkey and a mug of hot chocolate and a chocolate digestive or two... shortly followed by removing all
muddy wet clothing and warming back up again!
I calculated that 4 hours at 500 calories an hour is 2000 calories burnt! So I treated myself to a portion of chips because I had more than burnt my daily allowance in one go and it did stop me having a takeaway for tea so I think that is a winning situation! I had another portion of my pasta instead!

All in all an awesome day and here are some photos taken by various members of the team...
