Having been chosen for the competition from a local advert to explain the previous feats and challenges each potential competitor had done I was delighted to have received the call from Star FM announcing I had made the Top 20 and was in with a chance to win the new Renault Modus if I was going to be the last person standing and with my hands still on the car.

I turned up at the SJ Cook showroom on the Saturday morning, I was well prepared, I had done my research and having rested my body and put my mind into positive mode it was time to meet the competition. Within a few minutes of meeting everyone I began to wonder if I had done enough preparation. I had spoken to a few people who had gone up to 50 hours with no sleep in previous events but I wanted to see if I could push myself to 60, maybe even 70 hours if everything went right, but there was tough competition in the showroom and one or two people that had entered previous competitions and knew what to expect. It was going to be tough, really tough as everyone who had entered had as much chance as myself to win the brand new car, I knew I would need to push my limits and to set goals to have a chance, new boundaries and potentially blocking out pain, where lack of movement or being stood in one position for so long could have medical effects on everyone’s legs.

Before I knew it I was into the competition and the clock was ticking, I had managed to obtain a side position on the vehicle and it wasn’t long before everyone was introducing themselves properly and the character of each persons determination was easier for me to read.
