The 2021 Yoke Challenge
On March 2021, we kicked off at 6am, we'd prepped everything the day before.
We had food to keep us going.
We had beer in the fridge for when we crossed the finish line.
We had a massuese on deck with us.
We had our support crew and a constant stream of people rolling in and out all morning.
We had music - a different theme every hour; Charley Pride hour was a hoot!
We had determination to get it done!
Below is Brad's summary of the day:
Hour 1 Total: 2,100m (6,890 feet)
At least one of us looks happy
Hour 2 Total: 4,020m (13,189 feet)
He's still smiling...
Hour 3 Total: 5,520m (18,110 feet)
There's still a glimmer of a smile on his face...
Hour 4 Total: 6,720m (22,047 feet)
Even the happiest of us was starting to lose hope by then...
Hour 5 Total 8,490m (27,854 feet)
Brads Summary
Hour 1
Piece of cake, we’d done 1,000m in 20 minutes. Might’ve gone out a bit hot.
Hour 2
We purposely slowed down a bit.
Hour 3
It was starting to hurt...A LOT!
Hour 4
Hour 4 was mentally draining, don’t know if anybody noticed but I had tears in my eyes for most of that hour, not the pain, just the never ending challenge - just like mental health issues.
Hour 5
The pain! You know it’s almost over but in the last 30 minutes, everything was cramping - thank God for our masseuse on standby, she saved my life.
We raised a total of $5,000 for our nominated charity.
