Those of you who have read the full race report on the Rat Race website will know that we missed out the section where we would have had to slide down Hillend (an artificial ski slope) in inner tubes. Too bad! It looked like a lot of fun, and we could have used the ski-lift to cut out some climbing too...
But if you want to check out someone taking on a real challenge, take a look at what Jamie Andrew is up to. An acquaintance of Al's, he's taking on the equivalent of an iron man: a full on triathlon, including a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile cycle and 26.2 mile marathon-length run. A tough race for anyone.
Now imagine doing it with no hands or feet.
Now go to Jamie's fundraising site to sponsor his amputees' charity, 500 Miles.
