Yes, after four tough weeks of profuse sweating, painful exercise at the gym, extensive road running, prodigious weight lifting and one terrible soccer game I still managed to lose to the eventual Fitness Challenge winner..... Ron "The Toe"Barba! The final result wasn't even close....Ron, with the help of a trained professional assistant mind you, amassed 305 points!!I think the focus article on him really spurred him on!
I am currently holding down second position with 191 points and Rob H third on 190 points. ....but I've still to hear from him on any exercise he did this Monday or Tuesday. I think i could be heading for third if he has managed 30 minutes of workout on either of those days. My trip to Disney didn't really come at a good time for this competition....get my excuses in first.
Everyone else who started out in the competition or said something about it.... Behrooz, Jody, Ron, Jacques,Tom P and someone called Choccie Biscuit all fell by the wayside or couldn't be bothered to send me their points. The last i heard they were all roughly on the 80-90 points mark Anyway thank you for joining in and well done for doing any of it! I think this Challenge win has helped Ron to keep his fitness levels going for the game and the same with Rob which is great for the team. We need players that can last more than 30 minutes!
I'll see if we are up for a similar challenge sometime next year. Anyway, I'll have to go and find a suitable prize for "The Toe".......Well done Ron!!
Is the photo of "The Toe" a before or after pic??

ReplyDeleteFor those of you who are interested Celtic lost their Champions League game against Villareal 1-0 last night in Spain. They are a tough team to beat and are sitting at the top of La Liga. Celtic will now try to get something from their visit to Man U!
ReplyDeleteOne statistic is telling.......Celtic has earned 1 point out of a possible
ReplyDelete45 points (15 games) in UEFA away games......doesn't bode well for Man.U.......are the bhoys praying now??
You are right...the away record is very poor but the games are usually very close....1-0, 2-1, 3-2....still it's a poor record....luckily Celtic's home record is one of the best in the competition....Only Barcelona have won there in over 6 years of CL competition... though it will be tough against ManU at Old Trafford... but, if Celtic beat them and VR at home and Alborg away they can still finish with 10 points!
ReplyDeletei think you drank the poison.....
ReplyDeleteyes... i always think Celtic will win....and i always hope they will do the unexpected.....i drink mightily from the optimism cup....
ReplyDeleteRon, i was looking back at the Fitness challenge start page and i had estimated that if someone was to reach 300 points they could have lost at least 7 lbs...just through the exercise! You manage that? I think you've lost more.
