I met a man today.

What a fantastic achievement for all of them.

I'm certain that this chap was the fellow who crossed Tower Bridge alongside me in the pouring rain during the 2004 London Marathon. He was tossing pancakes every step of the way, and finished in 4:19. Not too shabby for his 24th London Marathon, at the age of 67.

Actually, he has run the race more times than that, since I see he also completed multiple double runnings of the course, and even attempted triple runnings of the race on a couple of occasions, actually succeeding in 1998.

Also claims the three-legged world record for the marathon, completed in the 1995 race (3:58). Sounds quite a character, all round.
