Was he rowing it?
Not surprised you beat him.

Whatever floats your boat.

Oardinarily (see what I did there) he would beat me by about 25 miles but he just jogged around with his minders while the crowd shouted 'come on Steve!'. I ran with the hounds for a bit and then thought 'hang on, I'm sweating my bollocks off here to' so I pissed off pretty sharpish (well as sharp as you can get when you're knackered)
For those of you interested and you aren't I was competitor 19999 which I thought was pretty cool. And I finished around half way.
I am a rubbish runner. It is possible before you say!

Nope - that's me!

Yes indeed.

I was a spectator that year and saw Sreve Redgrave outside Buck House. It was interesting day as I chased the leaders around the course using public transport. I saw the start, Cutty Sark, Canary Wharf, Parliament Square and the Mall. An interesting experience to see it from that perspective.

Getting public transport! 
Would have been quicker to walk. 
I used to take part in a local 10-mile run every year, but those days are definitely over for me. Anyway, although I recognised the actor who played Private Sponge, when I Googled him, I'd never actually heard the name mentioned on the show before.
Running - sponsored or not - for the sake of running - is a pointless activity.
Ditto sex.
I prefer cycling and so do my knees.

Sacrilege!
It is a nice idea though, Tuumble. Just maybe a bit ambitious for most of us.
