This is a really interesting thread.

Cliffs, guy posts thread remarking about how in 2008 a guy called Dave Heely became the first blind person to run the 777, seven marathons on seven continents in seven days.
Apparently he was forced to run the Antarctic leg on the Falklands due to weather conditions* but his achievement was never questioned.
Someone posts that an Irish blind girl is about to do the same challenge.

She does it and runs on Antarctica but starts an ugly social media campaign trying to discredit Heely so she can enter the Guinness book of records as the first blind person to do it.

A great achievement, but it's pretty pathetic.

*Edit, the original attempt in 03 was forced to, he just followed that route, which kinda changes things a little I suppose. Still pathetic though.

Cheers dude, I watched it a couple of months ago, you're right, I really enjoyed it. Think I may have posted about it. Don't think I've ever even thought of anything so gruelling, mind blowing stuff.

Impressed by the distance they get on those flag throws,those guys should be on the pitch.or is there a lead weight in them?

**Raoul Duke III** · 06-02-17, 00:52

These lads would want to improve their rucking technique. No rolling away at all and the clearout is dreadful.

Trump's buddy is having a shocker too.

I got an email advertising it as an "exclusive" offer. I don't think it's transferable or site wide.

Never been 7 US presidents alive before, record equalling 6 at the moment so Trump needs to do the decent thing and resign soon to break the record as Clinton, BushOne and Carter don't have long.

This sport keeps proving itself as average. Top class for a yank sport tbf but then again the competition isn't exactly high.

Sadly she didn't. Total borefest though with some big production/broadcast errors.

Gonna ignore the lessons of brexit and us election and head to bed(robbed from BBC)

Thought Lady Gaga nailing that catch at the end was good since women are only good at shit that isn't that.

Breaking barriers that one.

**TheDrunkenOne** · 06-02-17, 02:01

Only bet I did was over 13 penalties as I wanted to enjoy the game bias free. Just 7 so far and hoping for 7 more so I can go to bed.................
