John, I’ve got an idea! Next year, run a bit faster, the guy in the lead has been out of the sun for about 20hrs less. :wink:

22

Some good news, next year’s event can be completed in time for the Good Friday Exiges.com gathering. Who’s in? :smiley:

Rob, John seems to be running with a younger relation - Gary - who seems to have struggled through that last leg. Was there any news on him? Hope he makes it.

Not sure how the drop out is less than 5%!

24

In all seriousness, it’s great that John is now 20% over his funding target but £2400 is nothing for this effort; it should be enough to cure cancer!

25

I was thinking the same Ian - that’s like £15 a mile :open_mouth: What can we do to help him get more sponsorship. I hope that everyone reading this will feel compelled to donate even if its only a couple of quid…go on do it now it take 30s!

Has anyone posted on Seloc?..or any other forums they are active on?

“Behind the last competitor is a camel”

Now there’s an incentive to keep running . . . :open_mouth:

WOW!!!

He’s still compus mentis too…

14/4/13- Message from John “FINISHED! Yeah! Got my medal and kissed by a Frenchman twice- Patrick the originator of the race! I think I have got the camp record and no blisters at all! PS - I stink - no washing in 8 days, one set of clothes- it is pretty bad!”

Wonder if he means the record for “being camp”? :laughing:

34

Dumb struck, awe struck and pretty well speechless. Brilliant achievement John, well done!

35

Done.

Great effort
