This page contains news about Paul Savage's Iron man exploits. Yes we all know it sounds like a contradiction, but believe me it happened! The event: The inaugural UK Ironman triathlon took place in Sherborne, Dorset on 21st August 2005. It involved a 4km swim, followed by a 112 mile cycle, then a marathon. For more info on the race check out: Ironman UK. You can check out Paul's progress on the full 2005 results page. Suffice it to say that Paul was only beaten by: 39 Women 14 men in a higher Age Group (one in his 60's) 613 others Now you didn't expect that an achievement such as this would not be marked by the ritual Cardex piss-take did you Paul? Anything which puts the rest of us to shame has to be ridiculed - that's the rule!  As you know from the begging emails sent out by Paul prior to the event, he was raising funds for the Bwindi Orphanage School. No news, as far as I've heard, on how much was raised, but I'm sure he'll let us know. The picture shows some of the pupils and their obvious need. 
Paul's next challenge is to have a real go at the Birmingham Iron Man - I think he must have upset Paul once He's been practising for this effort by shouting out "You're an ugly Bastard" at any metallic objects he can find. If he was a real Brummie he would have come up with something far more original! One further point to note - I checked the 2006 results and there was no Paul Savage. Obviously can't take it like the rest of us! CGS members, please be aware that the Cardex Golf Society Ironman challenge will take place in Poole (hey, it's the same county even!), consisting of:
36 games of Dominoes Once again, congratulations Paul from the rest of us. |
