Here are a few words from Ross Cunningham, Events Manager at scottishathletics, but now known as ‘Mountain Goat’ after his hill climbing prowess yesterday:
“Well we did it! After agreeing to take part in the Men's Health Survival of the Fittest Challenge a few months back and having major concerns about some of the obstacles, we completed it! When I say 'we', I mean Alistair Currie (jogscotland Manager) and myself. Navigating through inflatable assault courses and over obstacles I actually felt like I was reliving my youth and at one point felt I was back in my street doing what we used to call 'Grand National’ ... I knew jumping over the neighbours fences would come in useful someday!!
I have competed in a few mass participation events over the years however this was the first with other challenges on route. My main concern pre race were the stairs at the building site and as predicted this challenge was probably the toughest, at this point we had covered 7k but after taking on the steps we were greeted by disco/aerobics which was fun. The overall set-up of the event was excellent and I enjoyed every minute of it.
We were followed on route by jogscotland's roving reporter Megan Hubbard who I have since recruited as our third jogscotland member for next year, so the challenge is on for 2010!
A big thank you must go to the event organisers and obviously to by jogging buddy for the day, Al 'The jogster' Currie who did extremely well after getting stuck in the bouncy castle! Sorry Al, it had to be mentioned!
Bring on 2010!”

At least it was nice and soft to lie down inside the bouncy castle! I'm gonna get some springs for my shoes next year and change my nickname from jogster to Zebedee!
