I have no shame in saying that the Kennedy moon speech was a big inspiration during training, why would it?
"Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation may never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too"
I know you see that text as a collection of wordsComment

I kept it quiet on here and never made a squeak but now it is out I'm trying to convince brillo to come with me next time, I would love to use the knowledge that I have of the event to give to another dedicated endurance athlete. Just because the sum of your Monday expectations is not buying 3 bottles of red does not mean we should all be fat useless underachievers.Comment

The more you post the more horrific it sounds!
I actually find the idea of the severe heat the real scary part. If it was "just" an ultra run which killed your feet I could at least see the attraction in some some conceptual sense. But just walking around somewhere like Dubai in light summer cloths makes me feel awful! Maybe I'm just sensitive to heat but watching sportsmen train in saunas - for tennis, F1, etc - maybes me feel ill on their behalf
Anyway, good on you. Nice to have an interesting thread for a change.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Over the last 12 months I have became a dad and ran the MDS. Running the MDS was easier. When people say running the MDS is hard it ain't. OK day 4 was hard.
Graham Souness when playing for Liverpool was asked once if he though the game that day would be stressful, he replied "not being able to pay your mortgage is stressful"

Maybe we can get some fellow Cukkers to pick something suitable?Comment
