In a fit of shortsightedness and unbelievable stupidity I have just been convinced by my brothers girlfriend to take part in this:
City 2 Surf (http://www.city2surf.sunherald.com.au)
I'm working in Sydney for a few weeks in August when she's also out there for IBM. One drunken conversation about it in a London pub later and I found myself committed! I may not have long left............
You're going to suffer horribly ... :(
Yeah, but there's a large hospitality tent at the end for all IBM folks which I can get hammered in. Run round Sydney, then get to Bondi beach for a few tinnies. There's worse places to suffer horribly :)
Its only 13K what are you winging about?
Best start training now I think.
/me laughs out loud at the things people agree to when drunk!! :lmfao:
You gonna get sponsored to raise some money for me (I mean charity)? :D Reckon we could all come up with a few quid for a good cause.

Do they have it on paper? ;) Ahwell, lots of conversations have been started that way, you wont be the first and surely you're not the last.
Good luck running, or should I say relaxing afterwards
Well I did it - 14k in 1hr 48m
Blistering sun, free beer, and a bit of a dip in the ocean at Bondi - a just reward 8) and several thousand rasied by IBM for "charidee" :)
Congratulations Chimpy. Well done mate. :thumbsup:
Well done CB! Hope you feel recovered now. You shuold feel justifiably proud of yourself :)
GJ, nice rush!
