Anything you can do...

G has now set off for Austria, to become A Man of Iron. I hope he will be OK - he has had to leave the 'G team' (osteos etc.) in the UK.

We sent him some messages of support.
Me (text):

Just wanted to wish you luck and say what u r doing is amazing
we will be thinking of you and willing u to get round xx

Bert (email):

Good luck but BTW I beat you to it.

Concrete floor, dug, bagged and carried; 8 hours
Inventory+paper work; 3 hours;
8 mile run; no split

Sub 12 hours to beat!

I accused Bert of being jealous, which he vehemently denied. "I just wish I could have turned up and beaten him, that's all." Oh, ok.
