Follow our progress LIVE on the day!

Yes, in a technical triumph of technology over good sense, the Glutes for Punishment announce that you'll be able to follow our progress LIVE on Sydney Trailwalker 2006 as we overtake other teams, set new land speed records (category: vertical ascent of a large hill via a rough track), lose enough sweat to fill Sydney Harbour, and walk 100km in less than 48 hours.


You've come this far with us, why not stay involved throughout the event itself?

For intimate insights and in-depth coverage of the Glutes campaign for victory, I'll be carrying along my new cameraphone, which I've rigged to post photos to this blog (the most recent photos on the blog are from the cameraphone - not bad, eh?) You'll be able to see us from registration at 7am this Friday morning until... well, probably until my phone's battery gives out late on Friday night, but we'll see, it may last until the finish on Saturday. So stay tuned to the blog you're reading now from Friday morning onwards. Bookmark it, subscribe to the RSS feed, and SMS messages of support/derision to us on (0414) 987 069.

On the official Trailwalker website they'll be posting updates from each checkpoint during the day, so you'll be able to see how we're placed versus other teams and check our elapsed times as we check in and out of the checkpoints placed about every 15km on the course.

You thought live online coverage of sporting events was limited to the soccer world cup and motor racing at Bathurst? Think again!

Good Luck Bro, I'm not sure I'll get to follow much of it, as I've got a few back to back meetings tomorrow and we'll probably be out surfing on Saturday morning but I'll try to follow and deride you guys as much as possible.
Talking of training, Kirsty and I are joining some friends for the Overland Track in Tassie over Xmas this year. We've started walking in the mornings, in addition to our regular swimming, this week as part of our training. Researching equipment packs, boots, matts a tent etc.

Go Glutes. Don't forget to make absolutely sure your support crew knows to order BANNANA Paddle Pops.
