Ellen MacArthur
Let's raise a glass to Ellen MacArthur.
We long distance runners/ plodders/ waddlers/ lopers know something about digging in, about going on when every fibre screams 'stop'. This amazing woman went through these emotions day after day, week after week, gritted her teeth, dug deep and came through.

I've listened to a heap of drivel on radio 5 today, people sending in messages about sailing not being a 'real sport', this achievement being 'overblown' and all 'media hype'. She may have a support team, all the latest gizmos and gadgets, but ultimately it was one woman and her boat against the oceans. And she beat a Frenchman.

Cheers Ellen.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
