“When people see me with this bike they probably think I’m an old cripple who can’t even walk his fat dog. Well… he’s not fat. That’s muscle, I had to buy this special bike because Dynamo was becoming too strong to handle on two wheels. He is my greatest project at the moment. I rescued him three years ago and I am his trainer. This dog needs 10 miles a day just to warm up. We chase foxes at night to keep them out of our neighbourhood. He is at his peak when he is out running. I am no cripple either, I did my last triathlon when I was 72. I swam Alcatraz to San Francisco on the 6th of January. I cycled from Vancouver to San Fransisco, 1,300 miles, in nine-and-a-half-days. I ran marathons and mountains all over the world. I trained a young lad who holds a world record for mountain running… I had to visit my GP yesterday. I am 76-years-old and had to introduce myself as she’d never met me. I said I’m feeling great, I’m just here to do this mandatory checkup for over 70’s for my parachute jump in April…”
