So ... this week I'm not sure who is facing the bigger challenge, me or my old school Mini Cooper Sport, Lulu!
Tomorrow's challenge - the Pirate Rampage, takes place in Salcombe - a 4 and a half hour drive from Reading, where I'm based.
Then it's back late tomorrow night, only to have to drive to Kempton Park, Middlesex first thing on Sunday morning for the Leukemia Research Bananaman Chase, and then that evening I'm driving to Windemere to do a Bushcraft Course in the Lake District - at least another 4 and a half hours driving.
Unfortunately both these distant challenges are in places which are really difficult to access with the train, so it looks like Lulu will have to suck it up and face the challenge!
As for me, not sure how sprightly I'll be doing the 10k on Sunday! It's been a pretty manic week - not just with the three challenges I've already done since last Sunday (London to Brighton, ice-climbing and flying) but I also managed to squeeze in the Cambridge vs Oxford cricket Varsity Match at Lord's and the May Ball back at my old Cambridge college (essentially 9 hours straight of drinking!), so I'm a tad delicate already to say the least.
Plus, the Pirate Rampage finishes tomorrow night at 10pm, so after a 5 hour drive home I should get about 5 hours sleep before I'm up again and having to drive to Middlesex for the run ... delightful!
Remind me again why I do these things ;)
