Quote from the new world champion's website (http://www.bertuks.com/en/?p=365#more-365): "Now I am spending my days here in UK.."

Anyone know where he is living/training?!
I know he ran in the midlands in March.

That quote is from a post he wrote in March. Just after he'd done the Midlands bramble-bashings that formed a key part in his WOC preparation...

however, he's not all that though:

1 Romualdas Stupelis HOC M21 50:04
2 Thomas Fellbaum MDOC M20 52:55
3 Alex Rothman SYO M21 53:27
4 Geoff Ellis RAFO M35 54:41
5 Andy Simpson OD M35 55:49
6 Edgars Bertuks Tume M21 55:51
7 Adam Potter BOK M18 57:14
8 Nicholas Barber CLOK M21 57:19
9 Lewis Taylor WCOC M20 57:45
10 Thomas Butt SARUM M20 60:06

(I'd like to point out I was injured, so could have had him...)

Mikhail Gryaznevich has just reminded us (TVOC members) that he ran for us in a BOC Relay a few years back and overtook GG on the last leg.

'overtook' seems harsh....

would you settle for held off down the run in GG?

Blame Russian hyperbole!
