Did anyone do Reading yesterday?My missus did and she said that she ran past a house with a gazebo outside and a Villa flag flying. She shouted "up the Villa" to them ( the daft old Arsenal mare) and got a cheer.She can hardly walk today
Well done sir. 13hrs 40 mins 5 secs of utter gruelling hell. Well done John. Keep up the training and we will see you in Lanzarote in 2014.Fantastic time and great effort. UTVAre you prepared for the climbs over here mate ? Brutal does not do them justice, and you have the heat as well. I am sure you know this already, but, email La Santa for your info closer to the time. It would do you well to have a couple of weeks over here before your Ironman to get to know the course and the heat. You could then work out your nutrition, fluid intake ...etc. Good luck pal.Oh, then there is the wind. Once you get out of Puerto Del Carmen, through Calero, up to Yaiza, the wind is fierce mate, especially through Timanfaya and up to Mirador Del Rio. Then you are on easy street, nearly. You only have a full Marathon to go then. Easy does it mate, as long as you finish over here it is a fantastic triumph. Go Mr Crofts.
