Day 17
How do you get everyone fit enough to do a challenge for charity?
I have set a goal of 3 days a week exercise, which should be enough, baring in mind we have just over two months. My motivation, for getting them motivated, is purely because we are supposed to complete the course all together and frankly I don't want to spend my time walking 3 miles (5k) soaked in water and mud simply because people haven't realised there would be so many obstacles to tackle, the clue is in the title... it is supposed to be a challenge. Trust me if I could get people to donate money, whilst I dance Salsa all evening drinking rum and cokes, I would! Hell, forget the Salsa. Laying in bed all weekend drinking rum and coke, works for me too. But that's not an option.
We will be jumping, climbing and crawling through mud while "volunteers" bombard us with water It's a Knock Out style. I may not want to break any records, (I couldn't even if I wanted to do, those days have long gone), but I do want to get it over and done with as soon as possible and as it takes 30-40 mins to complete the course. It would take an hour to stroll the course in the possible cold.....brrrrr!
So, hence the 'training' to keep us all on the same fitness level. So far I'm doing okay, I have completed two days workout already. Another did 2/3 of the exercises on day one and she's been in bed ill ever since. One has refused to do any exercise because "I don't like people telling me what to do". I have heard nothing from the remaining two.
I'm hoping it is all a matter of slow burners, otherwise I am either going to be in the hospital post the challenge due to people collapsing or I'm going to be swung from the nearest tree because they didn't know it was going to be that hard!
