Thanet Biathlon - 9/1/00

Roy Gooderson decided that he could not wait for the Today's Runner XC at Minnis Bay the following week and went round the swamp, I mean, course, three times the Sunday before; twice on a bike (a total of 9 miles) and once on a run (5 miles). He came 53rd overall out of 79 finishers in a time of 1:43:33, pulling himself up 10 places after the bike section which he completed in 1:03:11. And, yes, it has been suggested that he seek psychiatric help!
