But he was standing around in full skin tight mapei team kit with some Asics runners on his feet. Everyone was standing around for 2 hours so we all had plenty of time to admire this guy's colourful physique and attitude.
I showed up in jeans and a T-shirt and got a lot of funny looks. There were people in front of me decked out in all their gear and they were jogging on the spot to warm up and a few of them had heart monitors on as well. I am not the fittest guy but I know that the climb is not that hard. It was very surreal.
