    on july 29th i once again took part in the tough guy comp, http://www.toughguy.co.uk/ and about halfway through i was thinking "what an idiot", for putting myself through this again. they have made it harder than last year, but i still managed to beat my time :D

    2006 time : 2:55
    2007 time : 2:31

    no results have been uploaded to there website, so i don't know what possition i come yet.

    and the sad thing is that i will proberbly do it again next year.

    Nice one mate.

    I stumbled across this the other day and am seriously entertaining the Idea of doing the next one. Parts of the course just look absolutely evil.

    Moved to off-topic. You'll most likely get more input/exposure here.

    Me, I ain't a tuff guy.

    Unless you mess with my little girl :woo:

    oh man... hat's off to you.
    I saw a short little doco on this (BBC?) a year or two back and I thought... yeah that looks like brilliant fun. :D

    Not that it's not a complete ass kicker and then some... but it did look like good fun. A whole range of terrible things to put your body through. :D

    If I recall it was either a firefighter or an SAS or 1Para member that won it two years in a row (am I thinking the right thing?). In the doco I saw on it most guys started to shut down after a plunge into cold mucky water and whatnot... the underwater tunnel looks like what they showed. Absolute murder!! :eek:

    Anyhow... well done for jumping in the deep end! :D
    Big respect!

    edit: hahaha they have the Gurkha Grand National. :D

    Man this may be the best reason I've ever seen for a trip to England. :D

    Could always do tough guy and prove we're better. Come to think of it, I was talking with Dave about it last year.

    tough guy is wicked fun, but damn hard, and loads of girls as well as guys do it. i would whole hartedly recomend it at least once.

    thx for all the nice comments too, allmost makes all the aches and cuts after the event worth it :D

    I seriously considered doing it this year, but was riddled with illness earlier in the year, and so knew that I wouldn't be able to compete to the best of my ability. Am definitely going to do it next year though.
