Twilight Charity Run

Ok firstly let me just state that I hate “Robert Brundle Sixes Champ Le Brun”. Yes I know hate is a very harsh word. Ok fine, let’s just use really really really dislike.

Yes this guy. I have no idea how I got to my office and into my desk, but because of him this is where im going to have to stay for the rest of the day. I have had a catheter inserted so that I do not have the further embarrassment of wetting myself. I am just hoping that all this coffee and the awesome chip roll I have already decided to have after my smoke break don’t play any funnies on me, then I should be fine for the rest of the day! But I will get back to this guy.

The winners of bessed dressed at the Movember Tournament decided to take on another event known as the Twilight Run. Look at MaHolly (yes I know,sorry ladies I have a missus) and I, so full of joy, little did we know what we were getting ourselves into. Firstly this “Twilight Run” they advertise is a hoax. There might have been a lot of glitter, but fok all vampires and not a single werewolf. I brought along my Twilight dvd special edition boxset hoping to get it signed by Jakes and Eddie, but I could not find them anywhere. #ReallyDisappointed. And yes I have been using Twitter a lot so you might see a few hash-tags from now on.

So moving along, after being lied to and conned to get me down to this event, all dressed up and camel toe packs loaded with some of Tatty’s magic juice (personally I think it was laced with roofies because I had no idea where I was when I woke up this morning). We were all set and ready to go when champ decides that we should go ahead of the group and actually run it first, turn around and run it again and catch up to everyone. For some reason, this sounded like a splendid idea at the time so I agreed to this and after a quick pep talk from P D’lil, that’s the mayor, we were on our way.

Let me just say that it was the longest 5km I have ever run. He basically took my running style, which we all know is just a fast walk, and made me up that to a sprint which I have never done before. Like taking a hockey player like Sue, seeing him air dribble, and saying “ooooh, you air dribble, why don’t you do that the length of the field”. Quite childish if I must say so. What made things worse was that while im struggling to breath and trying to stop myself from falling over and just dying, he is having a full on conversation and at times running backwards. But we finished the race, barely, turned around and decided it was time to catch the ladies. Brundle was a champ thou and should really consider going into the path of a motivational speaker, because even with all the abuse i was throwing at him, he only has nice things to say. he is probably taking notes from Vis' tactful half time team talks. Already knowing what I was install for…..again. I decided to pace myself.

The moment I saw Brundle stop and chat to some fellow hockey players, I decided to bolt (or just walk away) and get a bit of a lead on him so that he might be a little tired when he caught up to me. So I proceeded to have a solo run to catch up to the ladies. I got down to the CTICC and started running up Long gettting as far as Wale Street when an out of breath Brundle finally caught up with me. Thinking I had done my job and could relax a bit. He mentions that I had run clear past the ladies and had to turn around . #NotImpressedWithMyPoorEyesight.

So we turned around a took a walk back, soaking in the atmosphere, getting random photos with passer bys and finally catching up with our group we hadn’t seen in a while. Then it suddenly got dark and that seemed to urge on the bands to create a even better atmosphere. FYI do not get stuck behind one of the bands, the run/walk will take 10 times longer. Walking down thru The Gardens we spotted one of the guys from LMFAO and decided to shuffel round him and take a photo.

Further down the road we were spotted by two lighties who were convinced that Brundle and I were members of Maroon 5, of course we aren’t Maroon 5 isnt nearly as hot as us. Look at our chiseled features. Boy bands don’t have that! But who are we to deny two kids a photo so they can show their friends who will eventually point out that we definitely look nothing like Maroon 5 and have their dreams smashed. So we abliged. Those kids were so chuffed. We really made their day, but ruined their year at the same time. We finally came to the end of our race finishing at a record time of 1h25min.

All in all a great event, and as you probably already know, we rocked it! So whats next? I’m super keen for the next thing, as soon as I can walk again.
