Ian Usher text extract from his Pamplona goal http://www.100goals100weeks.com/goals_Details.php?id=61

I reckon this is one of the very first goals I ever set. I was quite young when I saw a documentary on Ernest Hemmingway, and the section of the programme that covered his 1926 novel, "The Sun Also Rises", showed quite a bit of footage of the Running Of The Bulls at the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona in Spain.

I remember thinking, one day I will do that, but over thirty years later it still hasn't happened yet. Why not? Well, I guess the only answer is that I haven't got round to it yet. But the desire to do it is still with me.

This goal really scares me! I have seen quite a bit of video from the festival and some of the things that can happen are pretty nasty. What is it about it that makes me want to do it. I suppose that I feel the need to fulfil that childhood statement, to say that I finally did it, and to feel how good it must feel to run out of the end of that tunnel into the ring, having made it safely. It must be such an incredible thrill!
