Sam Chilton – Beat the Olympic swimmer Duncan Goodhew in a swimming race!  I was 7 and It was Doggy paddle (and I only learnt to swim that week) and completed the Turin boarder cross course with the Olympic team (I may have been on my backside the whole 2km!) 45:11

Steve Dann – Winning the Barking and District Sunday League 3rd Division Cup 1987/88 45:35

Dr Johnny Bananas – Of course, achievements don’t always have to be about performance, just being able to say “I was there” is sometimes enough – So today I joined what I assume is quite a select club having spent the day playing cricket at Lords to add to playing rugby at Twickenham decades ago 45:42

Scott Ferguson – I can 132nd out of 150 in a cross country race when I was at school. Admittedly this does not sound impressive but I ran half of the race with a nail through my shoe and sticking in to my foot. I can only assume the 18 people I beat were really badly injured. 46:01

Bennytron3000 – Half court buzzer beater to win a basketball match (after committing and intentional foul on the previous play). In a nothing league against a poor team, but I still did it! 46:23

Claire Trott – Running 10 half marathons in 10 consecutive days and actually enjoying it. 46:38

IronPhil – Torn between winning a national championship in motorsport – and completing an Ironman Triathlon despite twice facing the very real risk of being permanently in a wheelchair.   I’d go with the Ironman, I think. 46:44

Ollie Smith – running the Manchester 10k having not eaten solid foods for several months!   I got a TERRIBLE time lol 47:03

Jon – I came 18th in a 24 hour mountain bike race, Mountain Mayhem. All the more impressive because I was on a singlespeed, a bike with only one gear. The only reason I was that stroing was because I’d been unemployed for a few months so had got plenty of riding practice in. 47:10

Jim at Fact Check UK – I once came 5th in the Cheddar Challenge SingleSpeed race. I overtook the sixth (and last) rider while we both walked up a steep section before the finish 🙂 47:17
