M50 Ian Furness British Masters CC Champion

My old Lufbra buddy Ian ("Furney Babe") Furness won the British Masters CC Championship last weeekend. A fabulous star studded field included legendary talents Nick Rose, Michael Hager, and Alex Rowe. I am amazed at how well Ian is running, he topped the World M50 5000m rankings for 2008. When we were at Lufbra, we were very much in the shadow of World Class Open stars but somehow age has treated Furney Babe well - very well!

This is what Nick Rose looked like 'back in the day'.
