Sweepstake on how long it will take Brillopad to finish the iron man

poll to follow - will be public and will close in 24 hours.

Do you mean finish or complete?

I predict you will finish within the first 3 minutes as a massive heart attack renders you brain-dead.

Mrs BP - is that you?

PS - I am suprised anyone thinks I am not brain dead now - insult standards in general are slipping.....

Good luck, i never realised what the iron man challenge actually involved. A lot of admiration for you for putting your body thorugh that for such a good cause

[MarillionFan]

If you fail to finish I want twice my sponsorship back.

Its not just the race. I have now been preparing for 18 months. Almost no alcohol in that time. The first 6 months I tried to lose weight - no carbs. 2 weeks of the cabbage soup diet. Then I built up minimum fitness for 6 months.

Last 6 months I have trained almost every day apart from injury which cost me 3 weeks including one week of doing zilch. Last 3 months has been at least an hour a day, half 2 hours a day. one weekday I trained four times (morning, lunch, afternoon, evening). one SAturday I trained 10 hours. I have trained a few 8 hours(I have done the IM cycle about 7/8 times).

My only slight issue is that I am a wimp - but it is do or die time!

[eek]

Good luck mate. I'll check in on Sunday night and confirm you are ok.

[Liamxtype]

Best of luck Brillo

Try not to injure yourself while doing it - they'd have difficulties landing the air ambulance on the lake
