My husband and I have climbed Sydney Harbour Bridge and swum with a whale shark. I found Jumping off the boat the hardest. After the bridge climb I could barely walk as my calf muscles were screaming with every step so I had to shuffle for three days. Working in an Operating theatre, being on my feet for 8 hours for those 3 days was painful but did look funny to my colleagues.

To those who remember croc Dundee, my friend and I went in a tour, we had a choice wait at the bottom of a small cliff or go up. I went up, path so skinny I felt like a mountain goat. But if you remember the scene, the croc high ul looking over the beautiful scenery swinging the bullroarer around his head. I was in the same place.
Then I had to get down eek!

Going down, always harder than going up.

every time we did our fitness challenge in the army over 16 ks its always been up hill and down hill all the way
It was hard especially if you are short and to make matters worse it usually rained

I walked all around New York, up and down streets, parks, above the buildings, and below the road, for 7 days at the age of 65 years with my husband. We got up for breakfast at 6 am, lunch at noon, and dinner about 7 pm, and then to bed. Upon returning to Australia, I said 'Never again.'

My husband and I climbed Sydney Harbour Bridge which was a massive climb up many ladders and along ramps, it was excellent but for the next 3 days my calf muscles screamed with each stride, so much so that I could only shuffle. This made for a humorous scene giving my work colleagues a hearty laugh as I dragged my feet around our operating theatres.
We both swam with a whale shark which was exciting but I found jumping from the back of the boat into the dark water daunting.

On many a time when holding parties eg 21st , bridal showers I did a marathon cooking session of 3 days sleeping maybe 4 to 5 hours a night.
People were always amazed at how much I cooked and how good it was.

Why did I do this and not get it catered, easy I spent $5000 on the caterer once and the food was not enough and not that nice. I could have made it for under $500 and much better.

I always had a long list of what I was making and a list of the order I was making the food.

I then used everyone's fridges

In the end I was exhausted but was well worth it.

Now for functions each one of my 8 daughters cook a few dishes and it's done.

Ah something else I did was in the 80s I was an aerobics instructor for John Valentines and participated in a marathon class of 4 hours and finished it

This was one of my easiest spreads. My daughters baby shower

After a yacht race to Noumea, I was given the job to bring the boat back to Sydney. This was in the days of sailing by the stars and I had no idea how to use a sextant. The skipper said go out of the harbour(Noumea) turn right and keep sailing west and you will hit Australia. What he didn't take into account was the seven days of 35/40 knots right on the nose. We had the smallest foresail up and the main reefed right down. I was doing 8 hour shifts on the wheel as I was the most experienced on board. The others were return crew and consisted mainly of Saturday afternoon sailors. They all did their best and was I pleased to see the coast of Australia come over the horizon. I didn't get out of my wet gear until we hit Australia. Lived in it and slept in it.
