ROBERT ELLIOTT

Rob was originally a member of the Elite Squad and when Steve had to pull out, Rob grabbed the opportunty to upgrade without a second thought.

Fitness will not be an issue for Rob as he is by some margin the fastest member of the Team. He has run the marathon distance before but "not in an organised race, just for fun".

The real question for Rob is what to do with his remarkably tall hair. He is not at all certain that he will be able to get the cycling helmet on and fears that the drag effect may cost him up to 15 minutes in each marathon but is nevertheless reluctant to get the clippers out.

Personal Best:  3 hours 24 minutes (London, 2002)
