I've now permanently moved my blog over to http://chocolateandvodka.com/ and will no long be updating this version, other than with the occasional summary of new posts. Please do not leave comments here, but instead find the equivalent post on my new site, and comment there instead. Comments left here will not be published, as I'd like to keep things all together on the new installation. Sorry if this is an inconvenience.

Man beats horse

by Suw Charman on Sun 13 Jun 2004 02:27 PM BST | Permanent Link

For 25 years the small town of Llanwrtyd Wells in mid Wales has held the Man versus Horse Marathon. Every year the horse has won. But not this year.

Huw Lobb won the £25,000 prize yesterday, completing the 22-mile course in two hours, five minutes, and 19 seconds. Second was Kay Bee Jay, ridden by Zoe White, in two hours, seven minutes, and 36 seconds. (Via Ben.)

If you're interested, Llanwrtyd Wells also plays host to the World Bog Snorkelling Championships. Next one's coming up in August, on the Bank Holiday weekend. Get yer flippers on...
