I was junst wondering the same, so I've looked him up on the Marathon website.
He's completed the marathon in 4 hours 22mins 3 seconds :oD
Absolutely fantastic effort in those conditions!
He has my deep admiration, and I shall be logging onto double my sponsorship!!
WELL DONE TONY :oD :oD :oD

great weekend for tigers all round. massive respect for him hot weather running in a tiger suit is not the most pleasant way to spend a sunday and it takes guts to do the london marathon but to do it in a suit is another thing. i hope he does another lap of honor at welford again just so the fans can reaaly thank him. Now im not old enough to buy a beer, but here is one in spirit :pint: you gained one props respect today :!:

I was working at the marathon today, and it was so, so ,so hot. If 26.2 miles wasn't hard enough, to do it in a furry cat suit is something else! I felt bad enough watching people run past, let alone taking part!
