The big problem was the heat - it was around 34 degrees centigrade - I drank about six liters of water in the 3 and a bit hours it took us to complete it and now 7 hours later I'm still drinking and I'm still thirsty! Luckily we rememebered the sun tan lotion!
Well only about 3 weeks to go to the BIG day. Getting very nervous now!
Don't worry about it, with your prep you will breeze it. What group are you starting in?
