Damian - The athlete???
After reading this page you may have serious doubts about Damian’s ability to complete the course!! Visit our POLL to vote on whether you think he will make it or not.
Damian basically hadn’t done any exercise for about 3 years until August last year. He began light training in August and performed fitness testing in September to assess his fitness levels. September fitness levels below. He has since undertaken a large amount of training and dropped his body weight down to approximately 81kg and is feeling fit and confident that he can complete the entire course.
