This year was the third year that I have taken part in Commando Series.  It has always been my season ender for OCR and I always feel like I end on a high as I genuinely love this event.  And this year I took part with my son so it made it extra special.  He has taken part in two obstacle runs before but it is not often so this was a lovely treat for me.  However, he was not happy with me as he had asked if he would get wet and muddy and I had said not really – this was a little white lie and he found that out pretty quickly and was not overly impressed though we did laugh ..read more

I signed up with my friend Emma and we were heading to Henley to do the Tough Mudder half. First off was the warm up and honestly there was part of me that just wanted to stay there as this guy was hilarious! A warm up like no other with dancing, laughing, a sexy catwalk from a stag in a wedding dress, sexy noises and suggestive lunges. Warm up was the area to be!
