    If any way fit you will be fine. The worst is over in the process and the course is fine. Decent pace and no mistakes and you will cruise it.

    If you do any sort of exercise you'll sail through this no problem!!! i rushed through the first and most of the second lap and by the third my legs wer a bit weak ha! did it in 2:20 i tink!they will call out your first lap time to you so that gives ya an indication of how your doin! i was one of the last people to go so i was able to watch other people which is a help!! the day i did it alot of people knocked the bar off wen going under so be carefull der. they jus make you go under again if thats the case!!push pull is handy enough aswel.
    Good Luck to everyone doin it this week!
