He seriously couldn't hack it apparently. Do you remember Ian Champion refereeing at Tooting? Well he oversaw that challange too and reported back that RG didn't pace himself evenly, didn't behave at all like someone who'd run miles and miles like he claimed.
re teenage girls... apparently there were some watching (in awe not doubt) who were after some drink from the drinks table... the people manning it said they had to run round if they wanted some... so they did.. but whoever had said that had gone by the time they got back..
..anyway.. they thought it was squash and pulled faces when they tasted the rather dilute energy drink (wotever it was)
They were behind the fence where we were sitting, giggling and calling out for a while - we told them they had to run for their drinks, and couldn't believe it when they did come in!
I saw a report about that guy who failed the ultrarunner test. Robert Garside? The ultrarunner association/body asked him to run on a track. He started way too fast and his drinking/eating was not right. Didn't really understand his motivation why he was running around the world.
A french swimmer crossed the Atlantic very exhausted in 73 days. He trained 5 years for that.

URR . . no . . too vague . . he "hopes that boats and coast guards will help deliver water and food supplies" . . not a good basis to start from . .
. . and why can't he pay the plane fare like the rest of us :-)

"... will cross seas and oceans via the shortest routes possible"
He doesn't say anything about currents and "hugging" the coastlines can be suicidal (sharks).
so faking the swim should be a doddle

What a wuss.

And a mate of mine interviewed RG some time ago. 'Hmmmmm' is all she said afterwards...

Night life in Tooting must be awesome...

What happened to his Antartic idea then?
If he really is only training 2hrs a day tehn no that's not enough.
As some of you know I am training to swim the channel in 2004 and am already training more than that, and my swim is "only" about 25 miles.
Plus, guys, this loser is wearing flippers, wetsuit etc - not marathon swimming as I know it!!
What's the scandal with his round the world run then? Did he not really do it?
