James Cracknell is currently in 11th place in the MDS with 1 stage to go. Didn't have him down as being that strong a runner

probably played to his strength of mental toughness? All respect to him!
fantastic effort that, quite a big chap to be doing so many miles, if I remember rightly he was a sub 80 half runner a few years ago
He did London sub three hours last year, and swore he would never do it again, as I recall he said it was the harder than winning gold at the olympics.
He came 11th I think in the national duathlons last month, was really friendly and chatting freely beforehand. If you look at Rodders Rambles' blog, there is a decent photo as he was just behind Cracknell at the finish.
The thing which surprised me was how big Cracknell is, he seemed just massive!!!
He even beat UTMB legend Marco OLMO. To be honest thats the only other name I recognise on there.
Congrats to Paul Dickens as well in at 42nd. For those who don't know Paul did the vasque series grand slam last year.
