Abbott crosses the line

I am absolutely astonished at this...

According to Fairfax, opposition Leader Tony Abbott has crossed the finish line of the Port Macquarie Ironman competition . The race consisted of a 3.8km swim, 180km bike ride, and a 42km marathon.

His critics said he didn't train enough for this race, yet his political opponents say he places too much emphasis on exercise.

Well, Abbott - in his first Ironman event - finished in 1169th place out of more than 1500 competitors.

He should tell his knockers to stick that up their lycra.
