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...
