Well, endurance cyclist Andy Wilkinson is just hanging in there though the state he was in last
night looked pretty bad, but that was one hell of a labour. The quadrathlete, and so a 0.25 cyclist,
is just ahead of him in second place but they are both being wupped by the biathlete, a skier!
Anyhow, for those who don't get BBC3 I doubt you have a clue what I'm on about, but the final day of
the final is tonight at 8 on BBC3. Can Wilkinson pull something out of the bag?

Maybe, after all there's what, 10 minutes in it ? But I hope the "Bionic Man" Mike Dixon wins - he's
incredible. He's got - to borrow foley's phrase - serious testicular fortitude. The mental stamina
he's shown to get through everything while carrying that many injuries - madness !
It's a great show. It was a shame though that Lee Rankin got dropped essentialy for having travel
sickness :/

Yeah great series. Mike will probably win as he seems to be immortal or something. I hope Wilkinson
pulls some of it back though. Don't want the other guy to win - simply based on the fact that I
think his wife is the biggest moaner and complainer in the country.

I don't think you will get an argument there, the whole tribe moaned.
I ahve made Andy the winner, not just cos he is a cyclist, (OK so it is), but because he has the
lowest total time, AW 65:14:06
KL 66:49:39
MD 67:28:12
Mike was exceptional the way he fought back ( I wonder why Wilko didn't try acupuncture)
Longney was the only one who didn't seem to suffer injury.
The time that Wilko lost was more critical as , the other s didn't l;eave him long to make it back
up and their serious time losses were wiped out on day 8.
A good prog and difficult to repeat next year, i wonder when it was filmed.
