Hey guys,
Thank you for coming to my wonderful blog. Today marks a rather special occasion as it is the day I make my first ever blogpost (wow that's actually a word..)
Last weekend I competed in an insane off road 12k race and obstacle course called Survival of the Fittest 2011 Nottingham. I ran with several good friends and before the race I made a bet with my good mate Ralph that I would inspire the 1000+ runners and spectators with an almighty Spartan chant!!
So on the day of the race I eagerly pushed myself to the front of the wave to be as close as possible to the race host as he gave a booming pep talk to all the runners.
I proceeded to snatch the microphone off the host, turn to face my mates and fellow runners and give my best spartan cry shouting: "Spartans! What is your profession!!!"
....

the response....... Silence....... No one bothered to say a word, there was no chant, no Ahu! Ahu! Like in the movie 300.
All I got were a few murmurs of people in crowd saying "who is this douche bag??" Nonetheless my friends and I found it hilarious and it will live on in our memories as the day when I proved that embarrassment is a big word thrown about by small men!!
I've decided that I'm going to make this a tradition with a fresh war chant every year. So make sure you sign up to Survival of the Fittest now for next year and you might just see me make a fool of myself again!!
Embarrassment is Nothing!!
