Story

WE GOT IT DONE!!! 4 marathon distances on 4 pieces of gym kit, the only real glitches outside of being absolutely knackered were with the rower running out of battery, the machines resetting back to a zero clock after 99 mins and the Cross Trainer being grossly underestimated from a time & effort perspective (it would have ended-up taking over 6 hours and the gym needed to close), so we finished the final 8 miles on the WattBike after completing the run. We covered 168km or 168,800m in a total of 13 hours and 35 minutes, which although was longer than the initial goal, on reflection was not a bad effort within the same day.

This is something that challenged us physically and mentally and without the help of everyone involved on the day, I would not have got this done. By this point most know my why, but the funds being raised for the RFU IPF are because they helped a very close friend through a tragic time for him and his family and continue to assist those in the Rugby community with spinal chord injuries. 

The photos show a little piece of the day and any donations you can give will go along way to helping others in genuine need. 

Thank you and Merry Christmas
