| Ian Sharman (821),
motivated |
| He makes no secret about
it : « I aim to be the fastest Brit” is
what he wrote on his registration form. After four
stages, this very determined runner extremely near
the mark. To understand his motivation, let’s
go back in time to 2006, when he had to give up at
stage 3 because he mismanaged his water supplies – unforgivable
for this high flying accountant who simply couldn’t
let it go by. « seeing the other runners
with their medal was really hard, I swore to myself
I’d
be back”. But before that, Ian Sharman went
from marathon to marathon with great ardour. A hundred
kilometres training a week and thirty marathons a
year are definitely enough to shape up one’s
calves. He confessed he suffered on the long stage
- “the worst day of my life” – but
what could possibly prevent him from making his “best
Brit” title official this week end? And it
will only be justice.
