James Cracknell to start marathon

Just heard on Radio 5 live from Cracknell's wife that he is not running it because of his injury. Kelly Holmes wanted too much money to start it off, so Cracknell's going to do it instead.

Very naughty of DAME Kelly.
mmmm
maybe he put tooooo much pressure on himself
Their loss. I told them I would do it for £150...
:oD
Is anyone here honestly going to say they would not do the same in her position?
So let me see, Paula doesn't feel 100% before the Athens marathon but attempts it. Cracknell slags her off for this.
Cracknell doesn't feel 100% and doesn't even attempt it. Apologies in order?
A real man can admit when he's wrong!
When you consider what has happened in the world this year with the devastation of the Tsunami it kind of puts alot of things in perspective.
Anyway congratilations to all those who ran today and a big cheer for Paula she was fantastic.
I was sooooo looking forward to beating Cracknell on the road, now he's come up some lame excuse for not taking me on.
Who was the fastest celeb then?
Apart from Paula.
and Nell McAndrew did 3.10 - giving her an elite qualifying time!
tho i thought Michel Roux finished quicker than that ?
Or in a single word 'hypocrisy'!
I'm Tony Audenshaw (Bob Of Emmerdale) and I'd just like to say that actor jason Barry was first 'celeb' home in an awesome 2.58 for Leukaemia research Fund. He did this time off little training and deserves the plaudits.
I struggled from 21 miles in but absolutely loved it, finishinmg in 3.03. Having beat 3 hours at Dublin last October I know have a differnet attitude to my running and just soaked up the atmosphere in those last few miles. My wife Ruth was aiming for four hours but just missed out by three minutes knocking a fantastic 24 minutes off her PB, what a day!
Well done to everyone, roll on next year.
Looks like he's not famous enough if you read the Telegraph report... the're paying out on you!!!
hang on
and then he gets injured. i'm glad, it serves him right, and anyway, he isn't really injured, its just an excuse so he doesn't have to run, and he deserves it, i hope it finishes his career, that he never had anyway, because he's rubbish.
also he's a toff, which means we all have to hate him. everybody chooses which parents they are born to, and he could have chosen to be born in a brazilian slum, but NOOOOOOOO, not that twunt, he has to be born to parents with a bit of cash. they probably bought his gold medal, and paid for the injury that he hasn't really got.
Tony.. whenever you feel like not running it would be nice to have you handing out the hugs at Mile 17:-)
While I would never claim to be a 'buddy' of old Crackers, I did meet him briefly when he did his teaching practice at my school many moons ago (Did you know he's a Geography teacher?)
He wasn't famous then of course but he was a decent bloke and I don't think pulling out of the FLM injured is really reason to rubbish the guy!
Cracknell may be a bit of an arse but he is a very talented oarsman and athelite.Anyway we didnt see him turning down the opportunity to help out on the day......unlike others........
