The Great American Bunion Derby
While I am trying to understand the new horrible layout of the blog here is an amazing story.The story puts the Olympics in the shade.
Bob Brown on a normal day teaches in Cornwall. He recently won the toughest contest known to man a 3,100 mile run from the east coast to the west coast of the United States, running nearly two marathons a day for two months.
There are no spectators to cheer them on or watch them cross the finish line because the race is one of the best kept secrets in the US. They run through deserts, plains and over mountain ranges. The winner made do with a minimal support crew consisting of wife, sister and just a couple of friends.
He lived on one particular gift from one of his sponsors, 8 Cornish pasties a day. A gift from a small Cornish bakery perhaps. After supplies ran out he made do with jelly beans, crisps, energy bars and cereals and gorged on chocolate. Just about anything that was bad for you.There wasn't any time to roast a rattlesnake or desert rat or two.
