(A) The Marathon Runner or (B) The Tour De France Rider TdF rider of course Are there any marathons that take 3 weeks? Well, yeah, all of them actually... if _i'm_ doing them!! hehehe.. hippy From http://vek.perlmonk.org/archives/000519.html NEW YORK, Nov. 2 - Two British adventurers accomplished what seems impossible. They ran seven marathons in seven days on six continents, finishing up in New York on Sunday. Sir Ranulph Fiennes and longtime expedition partner Mike Stroud crossed the New York City Marathon finish line in 5 hours, 25 minutes, 46 seconds, ending their weeklong journey. The idea started when Fiennes - who is related to actors Ralph and Joseph Fiennes (pronounced ?fine?) - called Stroud in January and asked if he wanted to scale Mount Everest. Stroud, a doctor, said he did not have time for such a trip because of his schedule. So he proposed running seven marathons in seven days on seven continents. end One of the guys was ****ing blood by the end. They would have done 7 continents except they couldn't get to Antarctica because a huge storm blew through. They didn't get equal time for recovery because of flights, etc, it was basically finish, jump on a plane, not the best recovery. Tam (Yeah, I'd love to do this one day) Now thats hardcore. Fraser |
