You may have heard of the Man versus Horse Marathon held every year in Llanwrtyd Wells. This is a race where runners compete with horse riders, and now with cyclists as well. In 2004, for the first time a runner beat the horse. Of course, the race is designed in such a way that the man has a chance.

This morning, I decided to run to the College as a gentle start after my injury. During the first half of the route, where I follow the bus' route, I managed to take over on 3 buses :) . And the proper traffic jams are actually located a bit further! It was funny to see the drivers in their cars, accelerating nervously after each traffic light for 30m before seeing me disappearing further away. Again, London is designed in such a way that runners have a (fairly big) chance against cars.

45 minutes on foot, 40 by bus, 24 running, how long cycling ?
