In April '09, a group of 40+ bright, focused professionals will head to the Himalayan mountains to trek to Everest Base Camp for a world record attempt, raising £250,000 for Sport Relief and Himalayan UK in the process. The world record attempt is to play a full game of Twenty20 cricket at Gorak Shep (a large plateau just below Base Camp). As part of the support team, I will be training and fundraising alongside my full-time job and studying for a Postgrad Diploma.....so busy, busy......

My first Trim Trail

With great trepidation, I arrived at Trim Trail last night...... I had been meaning to go for a few weeks, but illness and college work had kept me away, but finally the day had come.

So, was it as bad as I'd let my imagination believe? Thankfully, no! It was tough, muddy, sweaty, did I mention tough?

Tom guided us through a multitude of exercises, many I've instantly wiped from my memory for fear of recurring nightmares. Although there is clearly a lot of work I have to do to be half-way fit enough for the trip, I didn't feel like it was entirely out of my grasp. I would even go so far as to say that I enjoyed it!

Now, I'm just left to psyche myself up for the running Trim Trail on Monday night and I'll soon be honed and toned....watch this space ;)
