Who fancies 10km of mud and obstacles? Come and join Team Wolef

Quite a few of us are interested in doing the Wolf Run this September so we were thinking of getting a team together.

It's for all abilities, it should be really good fun. It's not timed and it'll be too wet to wear your Garmin, so don't worry if you're not a fast runner. We'll be a team and no Wolef will be left behind.

It's on the 6th & 7th of September just south of Coventry, so fairly central. If we get a team together we get a slightly discounted entry.

If you're interested, post on here and we'll start making a list.

We also need to pick a charity so if everyone wants to suggest their favourite one and then we can argue about it for ages with no firm decision being made.

So, I'm in and my favourite charity is the Birth Trauma Association.

Sadly can't do daily disposables Standingonlego - astigmatism too bad, tried monthly ones but no joy there as eyes too dry Hmm
OK, so blind wolefs with comedy variation in height so far - have we discussed age yet?

Tiredemma · 14/01/2014 18:10

im shortsighted too.

Blind Wolefs

Standingonlego · 14/01/2014 17:13

Sounds like we are a team of short sighted Wolefs :)

Standingonlego · 14/01/2014 17:12

Get yourself some daily disposable contacts feet - my eyes are utterly rubbish and they are fab! BTW - another short one here at 5'2" - looks like you are going to be lifting us ALL over the inevitable huge wall feet

EauRouge · 14/01/2014 16:48

I'll be wearing my contact lenses and squealing if any water/mud goes near my eyes. I wonder if DD1 will lend me her pink swimming goggles.

Just had another thought - I wear glasses, could be interesting Hmm
Don't even suggest not wearing them as then I'll be seriously visually impaired wolef.

feetheart · 14/01/2014 16:39

I'm 5'10", first one there can stand on my shoulders :)

Standingonlego · 14/01/2014 16:17

Mitchy1nge · 14/01/2014 15:59

Tiredemma · 14/01/2014 15:57

well im 4ft 11" so if you need a snorkel I might need a full diving suit

EauRouge · 14/01/2014 15:55

How tall are they? I'm not very tall. Will I need a snorkel?

Shit, it's just to the right of Birmingham. I've got a dodgy shoulder today and I may have taken too much methocarbamol.

Berlin Marathon? Ooh, lucky you!

Cov is pretty much right in the middle of the country. Just to the left of Birmingham.

Not sure how sultry we'll be covered in mud at the end, but we can all do duckfaces for the team photo. I bet we'll look amazing.

Right, so Team Wolef so far-

Mitchy1nge · 14/01/2014 15:36

Tiredemma · 14/01/2014 15:32

Mitchy1nge · 14/01/2014 15:19

I probably wouldn't run very fast at all if you transformed yourself into a Well Hot Man under the mask Grin
