Reminder that the Mud Season Challenge starts on Tuesday 1st March. Good luck to all who are making an attempt.
With an attempt to combine weights, cycling and rowing, and remembering to take rest days, this isn't one for me I'm afraid.

Re: Mud Season Madness
Having worked hard in Jan, and then not done a lot of rowing in Feb, I'm back on the wagon for March (although probably not at HM a day level)

There's also a one-off 5k on 8th for International Women's Day, the Erg Sprints 1k 9th to 13th, and then some Distance challenge later in the month too.

Re: Mud Season Madness
Thank you Jon.
Originally decided to take part again as ( in a masochistic sort of way ) I have always enjoyed this challenge. Things have moved on though and due to other plans, I would only have one rest day available. Even my brain could not ' browbeat ' my body into changing my mind on that one.
Good luck to all of you who have decided to give it a go. Tough stuff.

Re: Mud Season Madness
Completed mine (10k version) today. Can't say I enjoyed it much, but at least it is done...

Re: Mud Season Madness
I certainly didnt enjoy my 10k challenge either, more like wading thru treacle than mud

Re: Mud Season Madness
Now that the event is closed I have put up the icons for this event on the Meterboard.
Huge congratulations to all that have managed to complete this event.
