You crazy bugger :-D
Maybe you should bring forward the English Channel to next year so you have an excuse to pack the weight back on?
Best of luck Stephen. My thoughts will be with you

I always knew that you were nuts, but this is down right crazy!!!!
Just wish I could be on a sand dune with a beer in hand as you run by to cheer you on like I do in Vaucluse.
Speaking of which, see you around City to Surf time.
Go Jacko!
