A few hours from now and the first of the 85 will have been done. We will, indeed, be minus one. The box marked 3000m Cross Country run from the Modern Pentathlon will be ticked and things will be well and truly underway.
The festive period has been focussed exclusively on festivation and, in the name of equality and fairness, neither of us has achieved anything more swift than a gentle amble. In preparation for this race Alex has spent a lot of time squelching through mud in Scotland while Christo has been assessing the course from the comfort of an armchair and through the bottom of a large wine-filled glass.
This was always meant to be a gentle warm up to the insanity that is to follow - thank goodness it is!
Pics and film footage to follow.
