  • Sean Templeton - 4 points - 2:41
  • Lee Patrick Richard Wigley - 3 points - 3:20
  • Alexander Owen Freeman - 2 points - 4:27
  • Wilhelm Jakobus Maritz - 1 point - 10:46

A message from Piers

Thank you to the intrepid five who were brave enough to attempt the Muscle Monday Century Challenge. Congratulations to you all, regardless of your time, because you had the courage to participate. In terms of scoring, it seems obvious to me that the five participants should be scored 5 through to 1.

For everyone else - a missed points opportunity for your team.

Thank you all once again - and a week or so to run on this month's BEAT PIERS Challenge - so keep working on those press-ups and sit-ups!!!!
