Should an amputee take exercise asks a correspondent to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Damn right they should -- and that's why I spent my Bank Holiday Monday competing in the Hart Sprint Duathlon -- a 6k-20k-5k test through the Hampshire countryside.
My excuse for my lowly position in the final rankings is that the cross-country course across farmland put me at a disadvantage. It takes considerably more effort to run on soft and uneven terrain because the Cheetah doesn't return energy anything like as effectively as on a hard surface.
Even so, my cycle was reasonably competitive -- and I did cross the finish line 41 minutes ahead of the back marker!

As usual, congratulations. You are making this beer-swilling, fag-smoking Welsh Canuck look bad again!!!!
Seriously looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks. Get the "Real" beer on order for me. Really looking forward to a "Vicky" kebab as well!!!
Lots of love to you both

Well, sheesh! Stop making me feel guilty, willya! I'm a whole-limbed couch-potato. Honestly, tho, I take my hat off to ya, or I would if I could find the remote...
Keep up the training Stu, I'm sure it will pay off in November.
