I did the RAB Mountain Marathon with Al Monteith last weekend. It involved 6 hours of orienteering on Saturday, an overnight camp, then 5 more on Sunday morning. It destroyed me; my muscles and joints ached for a week, but worse still, my immune system gave up with exhaustion so I had a minging cold all week, too. We did pretty well, though, coming
30/68, and scoring more points than some of the people in the Elite category.
Here are some photos that show the pain. And the mullet.

I am extremely grateful to Dave MacFarlane of
PlanetFear.com for sending me these photos. You can see more, excellent, photos of the event and read his write-up
