…The Experience of a lifetime! So this is it, time to say goodbye to the Selection Challenge™, it’s been a thrilling ride and the memories we’ve created will never be forgotten. The emotions, highs, lows, thrills, spills and choices experienced by all that have undergone signing up to, training for, participating in and completing the Selection Challenge™ remain as vivid today as the first day it was ran with just four people in attendance.
We’ve watched as apprehensive gym-bunnies and hardcore athletes have looked at the pictures, listened to our presentations and grimaced as they made the plunge to sign-up to and train for the most Elite Military Themed Challenge in Europe. We’ve watched with glee as others have jumped straight in and made the biggest boasts about how they will smash the challenge with both hands, only to be bell ringers without even showing up for the most incredible test condensed into a few short hours, or the longest day of their lives depending on perspectives. Oddly enough, it’s the average Joe and Jane that make it through, the ones willing to do whatever it takes to hang in there and not quit. Bell ringers are always there, signing up for the wrong reason and not really being committed – but why would you sign up to something only half hearted? You don’t sign up to an Ironman race only to quit at the starting line, right?! Most don’t see the bigger picture and think it’s all about bragging rights, or a fitness test (which it’s absolutely not), and some just come along for the ride, those that enter for the right reasons are so apparent on the day that it’s completely mind-blowing to watch them arrive as individuals and strangers only to leave as a team, a band of brothers (& sisters) if you will. Strangely enough we see the men crying and the women just sucking it up and getting on with it, every single time. We have no doubt that the last ever rendition of this challenge will be just the same, and we have some repeat candidates that graduated 005 and 010 coming back for more, it’s gonna rock. Going out with a bang has always been the intention and for Selection Challenge™ Class 011, we will be doing just that. Expect the unexpected – but expect everything you could possibly dream of as well. Memories and treasures will be created on April 13th 2014 like never before. The challenge has never reached its full potential to date, 98% of it maybe, but not 100%, but on April 13th 2014 Class 011 will be enveloped in a fireball of hellish tests that will challenge every last bit of resolve they have, and then some. You will laugh, you will cry, you will beg for mercy, you will plead with god, you will shout out in anger – but it will all fall on deaf ears until you either grit it out or ring out! So who the hell is with us? April 13th 2014, Mornington, County Meath, Ireland. The chance to do something just once in your life that only a handful will ever experience, how can you turn that down, For God’s Sake… stop reading, sign-up and get training: www.hellweekpt.com
