Sat 05 May 2010Blood, sweat and tears in Mayo
Running up Croagh Patrick, cycling through Mayo and, er, playing stuck in the mud are all in a weekend’s boot camp for CONOR POPE, who’s well and truly out of his comfort zone
A day into the three-day adventure, bailing is definitely on the table. My limbs, having apparently aged 60 years in 24 hours, are on fire, and even thinking about climbing the stairs to bed is making me very, very sad. As I hobble up to my room I curse myself for not doing just a bit of research beforehand. If I’d spent 10 seconds on the Fitness West website I’d have learned that the whole plan was to take me out of my comfort zone. That’s a zone I like and am very comfortable with, thanks very much.
