We have two sets of results (the International Running Challenge, and the Sphinx Sports Personality) plus a video of the four racres that make up the challenge.
Firstly, a report from Mitch on the Sphinx Sports Personality Superstars competition:
In this year’s ‘Lanzarote Sphinx Sports Personality’ competition, comprising 29 different events held over 7 days, Slats trounced the rest of the field and was a deserved winner with a grand total of 97 points. He finished last in 2015, but this year, turned the tables, winning almost half of the events outright. The Men’s Vice-Captain and Captain had a hard fought battle throughout, with the former only defeating the latter on the final afternoon in the penalty shoot-out; however it must be said that Wayne did suffer on the runs throughout, mainly from the ‘runs’, which he blames on dodgy prawns – nothing to do with the half bottle of banana liqueur that Karen force-fed him on the Sunday night! Wilko finished in 4th place, but he too struggled during the completion with an achilles issue, which restricted the number of events he entered (he would probably have won the cycle race though had he not cried off because he didn’t have his special gloves???). Roll on 2017…
