Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital. ~Aaron Levenstein
Its about 2 months since we decided to participate in the Oxfam Japan 2010 trailwalker, and we have only 3 weekends left between now and the big event.
<pun-alert>So – who’s in peak condition? Who’s trailing behind? Who’s facing mountain criticism for skipping too much training? who’s had their mind on summit else and not hiking?</pun-alert>
Well, After 8 training sessions, here’s the totals:
#1: General Woodgate: 143 km
#2: Colonel Bray: 140 km
#3: Major Marshall: 59 km
#4: Lieutenant Arita: 45 km
There’ s still some time to catch up, and with plenty of action over the coming weekends anything can change.
I say the Loser has to wear a bikini across the finishing line. Should match the tights.
We should do that – sponsor a Snail to wear a bikini/crash-helmet/flippers/ballgown/nothing at all across the line. Bid here and mark your donation “please wear … “. Obviously Simon and Arita-san will wear tights and other ladies garments for free.
I do believe I have 22.8km missing here, from last weekend’s cheeky hike around Lake Yamanakako mountains!
If you didn’t blog it it didn’t happen
Just curious … did you guys keep the “missed training penalty” which we had the other year? One easy way to add some $$$ to the coffers
