Steve Gardner used to get the headlines for finishing 10 times.
David Collister grabbed them when he finished 10 consecutive times (he is now up to 28).
Mick Holgate, Anthony Kneale and Ray Hughes always got a mention for being in double figures.
Its not quite routine but such an achievement is easier to miss nowadays.
Julian Thomas has now completed the course 11 times in a row and has passed Rosemarie Crellin, Andrew Titley and Steve Gardner. He stays ahead of Robbie Callister.
And his wife Louise has knocked up four finishes. On the first they walked together.
Julian Thomas is today's random star and here is his record:
| German | 1999 | 06:48:55 |
| German | 2000 | 06:26:55 |
| Finish | 2001 | 19:42:27 |
| Finish | 2002 | 19:20:17 |
| Finish | 2003 | 19:40:50 |
| Finish | 2004 | 20:38:56 |
| Finish | 2005 | 17:39:50 |
| Finish | 2006 | 20:40:51 |
| Finish | 2007 | 18:10:35 |
| Finish | 2008 | 18:30:23 |

I am blushing !!
ReplyDeleteLou & I have walked and finished together three times - a real test of a good marriage !
Icing on the cake is our middle two daughters, Meggie & Hattie finishing equal second to Peel in the U21 race.
Keep up the fantastic work on the site Murray.

Julian
