Driver Fitness

Interesting to read in recent times the number of drivers who have participated in marathons, triathlons and the like, demonstrating their physical fitness.

In AA today, it is reported that Mr Winterbottom ran the City to Surf last weekend... and managed a time of 61 minutes!

Its actually a good time for a non-professional! It will likely get Mr Winterbottom into the top 9,000 red starting group for next year if he chooses to return.

But where was the FPR media machine talking up the entry & success?

Frosty's official time was actually 58mins 07sec.

I saw the short piece on the news the other night, showing the start of the race and it looked a bit like the running of the bulls. Frosty was probably running for his life.
