Must have been, or close to, hypothermic.

The boys report that the ground temperature in the Highlands, where they are going to do this endurance event, is currently -11 degrees C.
Daughter says this is "literal hell" so I have sent them a pic of the frozen lake from Dante's Inferno, just to, er, cheer them up.
