I've done it!!
Hi All, it's been a very busy week. Will get my mums film developed today and get pics up ASAP.
30 miler route comprised of 90% cross country, and about 10% metal roads. Roads wern't used very often. The toughest part for most is something called the Rollercoaster, hills which go up then down for for a bit. I hit my wall at when we were venturing up this ridiculous hill at the 12-18 mile checkpoint. It is probably the highest hill on dartmoor. theres gourse everywhere up this hill and the ground is ankle busting, but at that point it does not matter as you know your going to finish it on sheer grit. Because we ran lots of it, we walked the last checkpoint all the way into the finish. still had about 10 miniutes left.
9 miler we did in 80 miniutes the pace was cheeky. lost 2 people to it.
Endurance I got 63 but could have got 61 as I was put in snail syndicate(last one).
Tarzan I got 11:42, It's not my type of phys and was the hardest cdo test for me. Never have I felt to knackered as I did when I got up the 30 ft wall.
Not going to lie to you training in the hardest thing I've done, there were points where I nearly wrapped because of injury but still cracked on. If you approach training with an "It's got to be done," blunt attitude you will get through it hopefully with your original troop.

Thats awesome. You've just put it out there for everyone to see, and as you've just passed out of training it makes it just that little bit more meaningful.Felias wrote:Not going to lie to you training in the hardest thing I've done, there were points where I nearly wrapped because of injury but still cracked on.

All the best for the future Felias.
