Go, Suze!!

5th, out of the 7 remaining women - the rest have quit - and 131st
overall.

Well done, that blister-footed lass! ;-)

Well done Suze.

Looks - http://www.darbaroud.com/fr/html/mds/20mds/20mds_index.shtml - as if
they've been doing it for years, although there's no indication [at first
glance] whether distances have increased over time.

 

Suze is impressive but look at the stats of the leading man and his
record of winning this event

 

The event is in its 21st year. Judging by the 21e/th jpg[1] dotted
around the website ;-)

It's a fast time, especially for a female doing it for the first time.

 

Well, I just looked and there appear to be 65 women left and Suze still
in 7th.
Cool, there's a famous person on ukrm

Is this a new way to spell notorious?

Nice resume of a gruelling challenge. At least she seems to be enjoying
it.

I saw that, but didn't want to butt in.

 

It's a bleedin' fast time.

In two attempts I can't even crack four hours.

 

That's on a bicycle too, I've heard.

 

I initially thought it was Aqualung who'd posted this so was rather
stuck for words. However on further inspection of the poster's name
everything's back to normal in my world.

 

Motor-bicycle, I'll have you know.

Er, that doesn't help my case at all does it?

 

Google has failed me.

 

Look at the cover of Jethro Tull's Aqualung and ask yourself who the
main character has a resemblance to.

Thanks for the update.

What an amazing person.
