It poured, that’s what happened! That weekend I actually called up Luna Park and they advised me that it wasn’t open.

So, the challenge has been postponed to either next weekend or the weekend after. The training continues! Once complete, I will be writing up a blog on here though.

Slight modification to this. I’ve changed the date and am going to do the strength test on the 6th of February where we are returning to Luna Park, which is where I did this test initially. Couple of reasons:

1. Otherwise I would only get 3 weeks of training (I miscalculated before thinking it would be 4 weeks)
2. Using the same apparatus this will provide a more objective result.
3. I don’t particularly want to carry a stuffed toy around all day long at Homebush!

Sure sure for the girlfriend ….. I believe you. Well nothing like a good old challange anyway, best of luck with it mate. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for you wandering around with a big smile on your face and a giant stuffed toy in hand (If its the Friday show you’re going to).

Yes, those darn carnival games have got the better of me! I’ll be going to Big Day Out. I saw one of these games there last year so I’m hoping it will be there again. Well it’s more my girlfriend who is after the stuffed toy…I’m just after the pride of getting triple figures on this thing
