Hello everyone, in what can only be described as the stupidest event I've ever signed up for, I am taking part in Europe's Toughest Mudder in a team of 4. For those unfamiliar with the concept of Tough Mudder, it is a muddy, wet, cold assault course that ranges from 5-15km. This specific event is the same but for a total of 12 HOURS STRAIGHT. The catch is it starts at 8pm and finishes at 8am so you run the majority in the night (hopefully it will be a warm night in Grantham). Our goal as a team is to run about 50km per pair (80km for team as you run the first and last as a 4) so just over a marathon, whether my body permits this goal is another question. If you are not convinced at how fun it is here is a video from 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ejNb7UU90A.

Any donations towards this event would be fantastic, and any advice on how to survive would also be greatly appreciated. If anyone really loves the idea feel free to come along and bring our pit crew numbers off a mighty 0 so far.
