The long awaited strong person competition finally arrived, and despite knowing I wasn’t as ready as I would have liked, and a huge amount of nerves and anxiety before hand… I went there (both days) and I did it! I LOVED IT!! Don’t get me wrong there was a teeny bit of me that was… Read More West Sussex Strongest – I did it!!
1 day to go! Action stations the competition is tomorrow…this is not a drill! Repeat this is not a drill!! I am slightly panicking, of course.
