Thanks guys. It was two hours on a real bike but I don't push as hard as you do at the gym and there are always traffic lights etc that stop you now and then. After 20 mins at the gym on a bike or a cross trainer I am leaving a puddle of sweat.

My feet are slowly improving. I wore shoes to work for the first time this year today. Only other day I have worn shoes (besided one hour at the gym) was the day I went to the Gran Prix.

How is the back?

I hope you are training hard Bainsy. Only a bit over a week to go. My friend who is training has been riding from Chelsea to Sorrento and back to get fit.

the back is giving me the shits to be honest.. :D i thought i was on the back end of it, but according to the physio it is gonna get worse b4 it gets better! the pain recently has all been in my right glutes and down the leg, and according to the physio it should move back up into the back b4 it goes away.. i can pretty much do anything except sit for more than 5 mins, or drive.. driving really sets the pain through the roof, but only lasts for about 5 mins..

riding for 2 hours is awesome,regardless of traffic lights etc etc.. i rode for 25 mins and have been paying for it for 4-5 weeks now! any improvement is good improvement yoda! gyms are over rated anyway.. i would say 2 hours on the road is worth 4 in the gym, any day of the week :D

I don't know how far it is from Chelsea to Sorrento but I drove there a few weeks ago to the surf beach and it took about an hour in a car with much of the way on the freeway.

Bad backs suck. My friend "Slam Dunking Dave" (was an in joke because he was a deadly outside shooter and ball handler but was 5'11" and had about a 6" vertical leap) wrecked his back (he thinks it was due to his work leaning over a computer for long hours day after day while being overweight) and for the last 10 years his life has spiralled out of control. Balooning weight, infidelity, divorce, lost job, financial problems, addictions, depression all really started from this and he was a great guy. Still is, but has it tough now, where once he could have had it all.

Great work. I am the opposite. I had to sleep on the floor of the tent last night, it was cold and lumpy and I feel like a big wimp, but I was too tired to go to the gym tonight.

dont mean to brag, but we did really well.

20 kms 30 obstacles in 2 hrs 20 mins.

we did alot better than we thought we would. passing people who started a whole hour ahead at about the 14 km mark, and thinking they look fairly fit, how did we catch them.

but seriously if you have the desire to do it, it is a great experience.

all except the 10,000 voltz i took between my right temple and right eye.

Again, respect!

You've also got me thinking that when I'm fit and healthy again I will look at it seriously.

Well done. Have a another beer and a ball...
