We met up with Manxman Andy Garrett and his New Zealand wife Karen today. Andy who holds a PhD in Sports Science is a lecturer at the University of Hull.
Andy's own athletics career was hardly textbook. According to the press coverage of the Boundary Harriers Half Marathon of 1979 (which I researched tonight) he set a personal best of 1:27:31. Personal best? Well I don't know how many others he ran before that because he was only 13 at the time!
Andy will on the Isle of Man for the weekend of the Tower Insurance 100 Miles and hopes to "catch up" with as many of his Manx friends as possible.
