Jeez god love the grannies!! Hope everyones sick/injured relative gets better soon.
Marty congrats in Hell & Back. Seen on facebook someone I kinda know came 29th which was pretty impressive. What was the hardest part of it you reckon? Am I right in assuming it's more of an obstacle/endurance type of race? Might give the next one a go when it comes up. 12k doesn't sound too bad.
Would love to see Amsterdam one day. This year think I'm gonna go to Munich and Prague. Have always wanted to see Neuschwanstein castle in the Bavarian Alps and Prague is only a short trip away. Went their for my school tour years ago and have always wanted to go back for a photography trip.
29th you say on which day? A mate of mine finished 29th on the Sunday. Umm hardest part I really can't pick trying to find my runner for ten minutes while waste deep in mud was pretty bad or going face first into the ground after getting an electric shock sucked ha all I could hear was a load of spectators going oooh as my face met the ground ha. Yeh it's 12k which has 21 obstacles in it along with the first 6 to 7 being uphill some parts being fairly steep basically go up one side the sugarloaf then come back down.
Cheers everyone
.
Hope everyone's relative are ok
.
And eh water need more water woke up parching three pints of water wil hopefully sort that

Just found out my granny had a mini-stroke. She's alert and conscious at the moment so I say they got it in time but my heart's been in my throat all day and coupled with the overall level of frazzled nerves and stress I've been shouldering since last week, I ended up bursting into tears in my shrink's office when she told me she'd be leaving the clinic for the next 8 weeks to do a fellowship.
At least my granny's okay though. Right now I just want to curl up into a cocoon of duvet and blankets and drown in a tub of ice cream. 0 -

Hope she's okay McChubbin
Everyones grannies are unwell! My own gran has been in hospital since before christmas with a plethora of things gone wrong. Most noticeably she lost her walk and might not walk again, she was diagnosed with MS.
Thankfully she's been brighter recently and is being moved to a retirement home today only 500 yards from her house so my grandad will be able to walk down and visit her 0 -

I never bothered keeping a diary. Seemed a bit pointless I guess.
Yeh I think it's more of a female thing to be honest. I don't know any man or or even teenage boy who kept one or at least none that openly talk about it.
I don't want to read back thinking god I was a spa :pac:.
Apparently some places in Ireland are tarting to stock this, I can have probably my favorite junk food and my go to hangover cure and it be doing me some good , can't wait to try it .

Interesting! I'm leveling up on my stalking
Ah no, in seriousness no clue what day was mentioned, can't remember but will check tomorrow for the craic. Haven't chatted him in years mind you and forgotten we were FB friends. If you're thinking of a male with first and second names with one syllable, we may know the same person :eek:
Not confusing or mysterious at all :pac:
What gave you an electric shock in the race?0 -

:pac::pac: yes you are getting very skilled on the stalking front .
Yeh certainly have a look, im not sure maybe my friend tagged one or two people in his post so maybe you know one of them. Could be just a freaky conicidence but 29th is a very specific number and my friend did post it on facebook aswell.
Ha no not at all :pac:.
Ah there's a small section were you had to climb over a plank of wood crawl under another and then get over a bale of hay were there are all strings of electric fencing hanging down and unavoidable, and when hit with it, it was strong enough to cause a muscle spasm, and just my luck one the time I got hit was in the middle of jumping over the bale of hay when boom muscle spasm mid jump making me land face first into the mud, a bit sore and left me with a face covered in mud and a cut on my lip.
In fairness for any of the spectators watching I'd say it was gas.0 -
Indeed, 29 is very specific! We are destined to bump into each other on FB Marty :pac:
There were three people in the photo alright with the guy I know in the middle, think he had a black top on. Nearly sure it was himself who posted it, there was two names tagged though I couldn't remember who or if it was himself tagged in it.
Like I said, both his names only have one syllable?
Jeez that was something I'd have never thought would be in the race :eek: Electric fences are so not fun. Worked on a large farm years ago and there used to be a tape fence across certain paths. You'd grab with one hand and drive the quad under. This one wasn't mind you. Threw my heart out of rhythm. Was stuck there for about 40mins trying to bring it back in. Scared the **** out of me!! 0 -

Yeh one these days I'll rumble your anonymity :pac:.
Ah your in the clear there was no photo, wasn't the same person just a freaky coincidence.
Yeh they had it in the last one but you barely felt it, was much stronger this time. Yeh I'd imagine if you werent expecting it, it would be some shock to the system.0 -
Just checked FB for the craic, think we do know the same person
No photo under the 29th comment but he was tagged in a picture previous to it which had me confused.
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN!!!!!!
What else did they have in the race so if they were using shocks? Sounds a bit intense!!0 -

Hmm still not sure :pac:, there have been no photos uploaded or anything from any of us who done it ha, pm me the name of the person we get the bottom of this ha.
Hmm what else eh carrying sandbags up and down a hill , carrying a cinder block up and down a hill, caryying a log for a bit, lots and lots of water such as skips full of water, going in an out of a river three times, plenty of going up and down fairly vertical drops using ropes, clibing over ten foot walls, rolling under plenty of obstacles, going up the mountain and back down, there's the bog which your basically wait deep in liquified mud which take some effort to pull your way through, running up essentially half half pipe far enough to grab a rope and pull our way to the top, being shot with pellet guns, climbing down pipes into mud and lots of there climbing and other things and it's 12k so pretty much use every muscle. Good craic though.
Here a little snippet of the snipers shooting everyone, hurt when ya got hit.

I've got diaries from 5 years ago in a chest under my bed. Part of me wants to burn them because they remind me of sad times, bad relationships and the fact that even in my early 20s I still acted like an Emo kid. On the other hand, I find the diary writing to be quite comforting.
Me too. I write in my diary sporadically, and have done so since I was about 17. (I'm 28 now). I've read over them a couple if times, and while the early ones are cringe worthy (why does she not like meeeeee????), I found the later ones to be quietly reflective. After college, when I 100% became atheist, I could see the pholosophical struggles I was having in coming to terms with the decision.
Now....saying that, I could look back on these in 5 years time and just shake my head in disgust.
I will say this though, I think diary writing is a skill, like anything else. Practice and critical review will help you get batter at it. If that's what you want! I know people who just throw down everything they can because it's a great release, and is very calming. If it works for you, do it.
Also, I would try to never regret the things I wrote as a younger me. Yes, they may be cringey, and I may occasionally wish someone would have pinched me back then, but it's made me who I am now!
tl;dr: diaries ftw. 0 -

Love it, first time riding in to work on it, so went early to avoid the traffic, so it was a really nice ride in, barely any traffic! I'm not much of a speed fan, so I went for a cruiser instead of a street bike, and it's just a really nice way to travel!
Good thinking on your feet there, I'd have probably gone in and sat down before twigging it! :pac:0 -
