Superman running 8km in suit...

[chr0nic]

So as a few people may remember, in two weeks I do the horrible 'Tough Mudder' obstacle course; a 20km mud\water\fire\electricity group run that I was 'guilted' into doing. The most exercise I had ever done when I signed up was remote control button pressing. A couple of months ago we started training- I found myself running 2, then 4, then 8, then 12 kilometres. As the TM loomed closer I became less and less scared.

A month ago a mate of mine suggested I run an 8km charity event afterwards (pffft! no worries!) - then he upped the stakes: I need to run it as Superman.

*Somehow* the paper got a hold of the story and printed it in the local newspaper. Here is the article, for your enjoyment.

I am still getting used to public embarrassment, but I figured if you can't have a laugh with your mates (especially for charity) then when can you laugh lol.

Enjoy ...and wish me luck

Superman doesn't have a rubbish beard! General Zod on the other hand....

[SuprHasan]

LMAO! Good luck Ryan! Dressing up like this is worth it for charity!

I'm sure we'll see how it went..on YouTube the following day

[Fuzz AI]

Funny enough, I'll be at Castle Towers that day for a little spot of shopping. Maybe I'll bring my camera along if something catches my attention...

[chr0nic]

Hahahaha cheers guys, appreciate the support...

Believe it or not I really don't mind the embarrassment or shameful publicity- all my fear is based around the fact that all my training has been done in super breathable shorts and singlet-shirts.

Running 8k's in hot, grabby, chafey Lycra is all that is running through my mind at the moment

[bolivr]

Excellent!! Good luck!!

[Guest rob]

Well done, RB!!

[Fuzz AI]

As long as the suit is skin tight, you shouldn't chafe. If it's a bit loose around the thighs, wear a pair of spandex bike shorts underneath. Not that I know about these sorts of things.

[chr0nic]

Good luck Ryan. Did the Melbourne TM and had a ball. Was a little spooked afterwards but still had a PC. It was the blind tasting R&J and I was finding all sorts of flavours along with mud and swamp.
