Posted by run4peter on 3/8/2007 My life is a running adventure having completed 277 marathons and ultras from the baking heat of the Marathon Des Sables in the Sahara to the frozen wastelands of Antarctica. But there is one race, which nearly took my life and that, was The Himalayan 100 Mile Stage Race, which I completed in November 2000. To test my endurance and stamina levels, I ran 5 marathons before my departure. On one of these marathons in France, I was involved in a car accident. I crawled out of the wreckage, thumbed a lift and ran my marathon!
I arrived at Delhi on Friday 3rd November 2000 with six other frightened competitors from the UK. I tried to reassure them that it was only a marathon and not to worry.
