November is going to be a bit of a write off for me blog wise as i'm off to South Africa, Botswana and Zambia in a few days for the wedding of one of my closest friends Mr Tristan 'Arab' Elder to the lovely Bianca Aveling followed by a safari. Should be absolutely awesome and i can't wait.
I plan to drink and eat as moderately as possible due to Everest training but when on holiday??? The main aim is to see Tris and recharge my batteries but the plans are extensive with Table mountain a must, Victoria falls, beach flexing workouts, hippo wrestling, England rugby viewing, cheetah racing, beach cricket in Cape Town and the start of serious training on my return we shall aim to stay in shape.
I look forward to welcoming the new members of Tenzing on my return and the fight for those places has been fierce which is great and a tribute to the fella's. I will be at the meeting and events on the 5th of December in the smoke and look forward to a catch up with everyone then and renewed impetous.
Bye for now, G

Better Blogs
Howdy
Six god damn posts in October, comedy, poetry (of sorts), videos, inspiration, perspiration but not in the top 3 blogs of the month. What the? Is it because i'm VC or just that Mark, Blinky and Tooves are much more witty and eloquent than I????hhhmmm.
Anywho will raise my game once again on all fronts to showcase my talents, the ultimate downhill video is coming and I can always put together some Napoleon Dynamite dance move video if i'm really struggling........
On a serious note I was in the Oxford Mail twice last week with a nice report although i got ripped at work for my over use of the word Awesome. Love that word. Well if i do over use it, so be it, but for this trip it cannot be over-used so shove it Party 4 Didcot massive.
I had a wee glance at Curry on everest and see he is at 65% of his total so if your not on the trip and reading this please donate to help me near my goal and I will do something AWESOME on the blog when 50% and 110% are hit.
I also went to an Ironman evening the other day to scare myself so much that fear will drive me to training for 30 weeks, so failure is not an option. Some great input especially for the simple stuff, they say what is essential is writing down your goals (60% of people who write down their goals achieve them) don't know where u get facts like that but will be writing mine down soon. Planning is also very important to vary and dicipline your training, mine is starting to look like a part time job but hey. Lastly its about enjoying your training, having realistic goals and looking after yourself. When training hard the rest time is where you gain your fitness so make sure you train hard then rest hard. My moto anyway.
If your not already signed up for Santa pub crawl on 13th Dec its genius, so do and i'll see you around.
