Sir Christopher Achieves His Goal

In the Great North Run yesterday, Sir Christopher Chataway achieved his goal of a time of under one hour fifty-two minutes, to beat eighty percent of the other runners in the half-marathon. Here’s the report in The Independent. Apparently, he’s giving up competing.

“It will be my last half-marathon,” he announced afterwards. “In future I shall be concentrating on the only sport in which I’m improving – bridge.”

I suspect he might recind that statement. After all, he did nothing for many years and then came back a star!
