Don beats train
Top British triathlete Tim Don recently raced against a London Circle Line train - and won, by an incredible 4 minutes 13 seconds.
The duel, filmed for the internet, entailed Don running overland from tube station to tube station sticking to London's road network and even having to stop at red lights. Meanwhile he was racing a London Underground tube train in real time taking the more direct route under London. Amazingly, Don triumphed, and the TUBE RACE's organisers (leading technical sports shoe and clothing brand ASICS) are hoping his heroics will serve to inspire at least some of London's millions of commuters to pull on their ASICS and run or walk to work rather than taking the train, bus or tube.
The ASICS TUBE RACE was hosted to celebrate the launch of the first ASICS store outside of Japan (in Argyll Street W1). The new, hi-tech just under 4,000 sq ft store is dedicated to running and a host of other sports catered for by ASICS.
