BMF Majors

Twice a year I help out at a cross-country cum obstacle event called the Majors, run by British Military Fitness this year in partnership with Royal British Legion. There are options for competitors to race over 5km or 10km.

Today I was helping out in the kit tent, basically storing people's valuables for them during the race and getting them safely back to them afterwards. It was pretty non-stop, from the 7:30am start to the 4:00pm finish after the course was dismantled.

I was pretty impressed when I hit my 10,000 steps by lunchtime, and I had been in the kit tent the whole time!  It was an exhausting day but good to see the competitors having such a good time and getting thoroughly muddy. Overall I walked over 7 miles ... I may as well do the race next time ...
