Well with 9 countries represented, I have just confirmed with Jacques Rogge that this is now an official Pre-Olympic event. Seems they are trying every desperate ploy to take focus away from that relay shambles currently circling the globe so a 53 mile ultra in the Highlands of Scotland is just the ticket..
Now I know that many people do not rate Australias chances in this event, especially with the might of the Jez Bragg led Poms as favorites. But it is 3 people that need to cross the line, and with Olympic GOLD GOLD GOLD at stake, a lot can happen in the woods of Loch Lomond.. Maybe Jez will get past the Crocs and Tiger Snakes just north of Inversnaid, but not sure if the rest of his team will. In the spirit of the Ashes, Gallipoli and Mel Gibsonesque William Wallace, it is game on !! Sure the Scots will be training Kamikaze Midges to ensure they get the edge, but with Fosters in hand and Vegemite smeared on our bodies, nothing can stop us...
