Young Gary Clarke and myself SMASHED UP the legendary Green Belter Course in Hambeldon Estate on Saturday, we teamed up in silly rig as the famous wrestler Hulk Hogan. The Adventure course/competition consisted of a multi-sport mix of biking, running, kayak and a "Green Machine" obstacle course to finish on.
The opposition didn’t show too much fear in their eyes as they witness team Hulkamania pull up on their ill equipped bikes, the fellow competitors prepared well with their specialized tri boxes for, well equipped nutrition and bikes that cost more than my first car! Team Hulkamania attempted not to be phased by the big guns on show and muscled in on the front line for the start. We hit the first run hard and went into T1 in the top 10, entering the 20km bike section, we struggled and fell into the top 30, the bike was taxing, sheer sweat and determination ensured that we didn’t slip too far from the front. It’s not very often that Hulk Hogan has rubbery legs when competing but on this occasion we both had to run our rubbery legs for the first 2km of the second run (10km), by the time we completed this stage we edged our way back into the top 20, leaving too much to do top get in the top 10, but we were in the top 5 in the team competitors we gained strength from hearing this and picked up our pace taking over 1 team in T3, striding out towards the Thames for the kayak, hulkamania put some hustle behind their muscle to power their way into 3rd position coming out of the Thames, with the second team in sight, we managed to overcome cramp to sprint ahead of the team before entering the ‘Green Machine’ obstacle course, team Hulkamania came 2nd overall in the paired event and 14th overall.
