Never before in the history of HuRTS or the blogs has so much been written about one man, But when that man is one Enda Patrick Oliver Stankard (E.P.O. Stankard to his mates) then it appears as if there are no boundaries. In a year that started so promising for the Irish #4 it has sadly all gone downhill since his Gold Coast Marathon way back in July.
HuRTS presentation is in 4 weeks and he has campaigned to everyone that he should be nominated for the Performance of the Year and also ‘Sprit of the Year’ when the annual awards are handed out, but in truth the only trophy heading back to Bondi will be the ‘Serge’ Under Achiever Cup if the squad vote in the fairest order?
So with his running career in ruins and after a failed attempt at Triathlon Enda has found a new venture for 2015 - and was last seen in deep conversation with a HuRTS member (who wishes to remain anonymous) , who in turn has sent this to the TRASH ……………………Has this guy NO SHAME ?
A desperate cry for attention…?
In a bizarre twist of events not unusual when you consider the culprit, Enda today announced that he was going to focus on the World Duathlon championships in Adelaide next year.
When quizzed how he was going to do this given that you needed to earn a spot on a national team, he simply replied “anyone can get on an Irish team – I got an email this morning asking me and I reckon I’ll take a spot”.
Where is this man’s sense of pride…of hard earned respect and achievement at working towards a goal…has he simply given up on making it in one discipline and now feels it might be easier in two…sad times indeed
He will need to dust off his bike he advised today..
One Grandfather was born in Scotland. Does that mean I can get on the Scots team?
ReplyDeleteJudging by the spelling and grammar this wasn't your work Timmy... Looks like the work of a lawyer to me
