The Challenge Continues……….
The Challenges have been coming think and fast for Jas. Over the last four months, Jas has completed 5 more runs, adding another 51.2 miles to his total.
Event 5 was the Lincoln 10k (6 miles), this was his second time he running this course. The first time was April 2013, achieving 52 mins 11 secs. This year he got a PB of 44 mins, 48 secs. He came in 435th, out of 5000 runners, and 58th in the over 40’s category.

Event 6 was the Dirty Weekend, Rat Race at Burghley House. This is World’s Largest Obstacle Course, stretching over 20 miles, incorporating 200 obstacles. This was a real test for his fitness. With loads of help from Christopher Bradford (pictured with him) they managed to complete the course in a respectable 6 hr 08 mins. They think they could have shed about an hour off their time, if it was not for the queues at the obstacles. They have already entered next year’s race, aiming to complete this 4 hours!

Event 7 was 7 mile mudrun, Total Warrior in Leeds. This was a little tame compared to The Rat Race, but had two insane obstacles, ‘The Sheep Dip’ and ‘Electric Shock Therapy. The Sheep Dip, involved been fully submerged in a skip full of ice cold water, and Electric Shock Therapy involved running through live wires, each time sending a electric shock through you, as you touched them. Here is Jas helping Kate over the Berlin Wall.

Event 8 was a Trail Half Marathon through Clumber Park. This was his first Trail Run, and he was not sure what to expect. The night before, it rained heavily, and Jas was a little cautious, not wanting to slip and injure himself. He was a little disappointed with his time of 2hr, and 8 secs! Here he is looking shattered after his run.

Event 9, was the JCB Mudrun, having ran this in 2012, he was excited to return to the place that started his love for Mudruns. The 5 mile course was just a mud bath, and he loved it! He completed the course in 55 mins, 12 secs, and came in 64th out of 2,700 runners. Here he is enjoying a cold shower at the finish line.
