Sun 23rd Sep. TOUGH MUDDER. Sydney

Nicola & I to Sydney to join Joe Bonington's team of 19 to run the Tough Mudder race.

20 km. of mud and obstacles - walls, water, fire, barbed wire & electric shocks.
And the race begins - wearing our 'Joe's Garage' shirts.

Getting over the walls was a team effort.
 The 'Slippery Eel' was quite literally shocking.


 Through the ice bath.

 Then the burning tyres

Then this ramp called 'Everest'. 


And at the end - a beer and a 'Tough Mudder' headband.

Sun. 16th. Sept. Steel Hammer's 1st Race.

To Caloundra Racecourse.

Steel Hammer - in whom I have a 10% share (front right leg) - had his first race.


In our stable's colours of orange & green.

 He started as favourite, led until 2 furlongs from home, then faded and finished 2nd last!
However, he'll have better odds on him next time.
