On Sunday, I'm racing a half marathon whilst juggling.

So yeah, wish me luck. Never tried anything like this before. Will naturally be wearing some sort of clown outfit to complete the image.

Hopefully going to go under 1:40, very hard to tell what I'll do though as I just got back from 2 months injury last week....and have barely practised this running whilst juggling thing.

World record is 1:23:46, now there's a record I could reasonably aspire to!

I don't see why not. You're a solid contributor to the board and it relates to the spirit of the board.

If there is a video feed, hopefully it will be in English. I would hate to have to deal with the delay from the Eurosport audio.

Hopefully it will not preempt the LBL coverage, else those that have their priorities out of whack would throw a hissy fit.

Well I did it, didn't care about the time I was enjoying the crowd too much to bother with anything above a jog so I cruised round with my friend, also a clown, in 1:53.

Great day, the reaction from the crowds was terrific and I got a lot of compliments from other runners, some of whom were despairing a bit as they got passed by a pair of clowns, one of which was juggling. Dropped 10 times over the 13 miles, half of which werent my fault so cant be too ashamed with that!

As promised, some pics:
