Weekend round up

Running a marathon is hard enough, but completing an off road marathon after a 2.4 mile swim and 112 mile cycle, achieving a top 3 – 1st in his age group – is not for everyone. Peter Baksh  did it at the New Forest Iron Man, making a certain Mr. Baksh Sr. a very proud Dad!

OK Chris is now ranked number 30 in the country in his age group after smashing a mixed 1500 metres at Eltham BMC Regional series last week. Very impressive indeed!
