Winter Tough Guy 2007
Training Diary | January 2007
Lee and Brian complete the Winter Tough Guy 2007!
Although it is always mentioned "tongue in cheek" the Tough Guy is really really tough!
It starts with an 8 miles cross country run to warm up, which is certainly required then you do the assault course which includes some seriously cold water! The record so we understand is that one year there were over 200 cases of hypothermia and several broken legs!
Here are a few pictures of us ...

If you can imagine having an "ice cream" headache for about 30 seconds ALL OVER your head then that is what it is like when you go under water and you have to do this six times!
Anyway, we got our medals and will probably do it again next year!
