Fallen Warrior
It’s the day after Tough Guy Nettle Warrior. If I didn’t know this because it was in my diary then I’d know it by looking at the amount of search results that have hit this site over the course of the day. Most of them are looking for pictures or for information about the event. One was looking for Savlon Nettle gel (to whom I shall say only this: deal with it. Nettle stings are nothing compared to the pain and suffering of existence. Or something similarly zen. )
I didn’t do TG this year - first time in four that I haven’t. There’s no particular reason other than I didn’t get off my arse in time to enter. I do intend to do at least one of the events next year though (and that’s likely to be the January Tough Guy as it’s the one that I feel I haven’t properly conquered yet.)
Anyway, to all those who visit this site looking for info about yesterday’s event, I’m afraid there isn’t much here. I hope it went well for you and I hope you’re still buzzing from the experience. If you want to share how it went, feel free to leave a comment.
It was my first time yesterday as a Wobblenecker and I thouroughly enjoyed the experience, finished in 2hrs 39mins so some room for improvement. It gave me the hunger for Jan 08 when I can start in an earlier squad. Am going to hit it as hard as I can, however I have heard it gets damn cold. I’ll be fine, “I’m tough”.
Great atmosphere and comradery, good to see contestants helping each other through the tough parts. Weather stayed dry and the sun shone most of the time.
