Toughest event I have ever done was a three peaks challenge a few years back - trying for a sub 20hr and not physically prepared for it (bad feet and joints, overweight, pushed too hard too early, not prepared for lack of sleep etc)
toughest workout - my first linda - didn't scale and it took me ages - wiped me out for days.

I am trying to do this next year. Not sure when though. Doing Ben Nevis in November for Ice climbing practice and then Mont Blanc in summer next year; then Everest Base camp. Got to fit 3 peaks in there somewhere finding drivers is the hard thing though.

never done the 3 peaks, done a few lanyard trophies before, about 40 miles over rough terrain as a team with bergans etc..That was easy !!!!!
For some reason the most memorable workout has been:
5 rds
800 mtrs, 30 KB swings (2 POOD), 30 pullups. My training partner and I first tried this one when we first statred doing CF WOD's and we were both on the brink of sacking it after round 2, it was brutal.

We drove ourselves (2 of us) which was prob a major part of the prob - sleeping with one eye open to make sure the other party weren't falling asleep

Marcus, why do I get the feeling you are mainly asking this for ideas for your next workout/event?
