"I wasn’t a truly genuine trail ultrarunner until March 7, 1992 at the
Wild Oak 50 near Harrisonburg, Virginia. It was a rainy day and
simultaneously, while I was piddling on the run, chewing on an energy
bar and washing it down with Mountain Dew, my nose was dripping and I
farted. That was the ultimate defining moment in my trail running
career, if not my entire life."
- Bob Boeder

"I think I bit off more than I could chew, I thought the marathon would be easier," he said. He called the race "the hardest physical thing I have ever done" - even more grueling than his worst days on the Tour. Will he be back? "Now's not the time to ask that question. The answer now is no, I'll never be back. But I reserve the right to change my mind," he said. "I don't know how these guys do it."
Guess who said this recently after finishing the New York Marathon?
Should cut out a lot of the debate about which event is the most physically testing?
Cheers,
John

Karl,
You want a prize  ? How about irregular constructive critism of the Benfleet Running Club website? Just think what I would have given you if you'd have come first! Doh. 
MM as the winner you get an unlimited supply of semi-thought out retorts to your generally funny postings. 
Cheers,
John.

Arthur Dent: You know, it's at times like this, when I'm stuck in a Vogon air lock with a man from Betelgeuse, about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young.
Ford Prefect: Why? What did she tell you?
Arthur: I don't know; I didn't listen.
