The 10 Trials

I had an epiphany a few weeks ago whilst on the loo (where I seem to get all my best ideas for some reason!). As well as the wonderful act of random which i've been lovingly indulging in this year I wanted to come up with something else. Like the trilas of Hercules I would come up with my own set of challenges or 'Trials' which would challenge me in ways I would usually be very uncomfortable with. Here is the list so far: -

1. Spend a night camping alone in Sulham woods

A nice easy one to organise this. Get a tent, find a spot and camp there all night. What could go wrong...

2. Go 48 hours without sleep
3. Go 3 months or 100 days without chocolate!

Exactly what they say on the tin. I'm seriously considering scrapping number 3 though as the trials should be about discovery and enlightment not pointless punishment.

4. Go through a car wash on a bicycle

Lovingly random, just not sure it's legal. I intend to find out.

5. Do the 3 peaks challenge

The big one. Time is not an option here, just as long as I do one after the other as quickly as possible.

6. Do a marathon in a day – 26 miles home in a day by foot

If I can do this I will eventually sign up for the London Marathon.

7. Triathlon – same distance done by the pros but swimming in a pool, cycling on a cycling machine thing then running the rest, all in one day.

The third trial of strength and endurance. Instead of doing things officially i'll be doing it my way but still using the official distances.

8. Go on a rollercoaster for the first time, the scariest one possible

I've never been on one. I intend to find and ride the scariest one first.

9. Do a nude calendar!

Why? Why not ;)

10. ???

Once i've done each of them i'll put the details (and pictures) on this very page along with anymore I come up with.
