Hoping to take part - mostly likely at the local gym, unless circumstances allow.

PS English speakers shouldnt have a problem here, (I doubt I know more than 10 words of Finnish), but google translate helps get the entry right.

I'd love to do this, but i can't for a few reasons. Hotel Krapi sounds wonderful
