Event 1 – The Downhill
1st Ian “whoosh” Why
2nd John “sonic boom” Burke
3rd The Captain
4th Ray “Kit” Kelly
5th Jayne Paine – Floats uphill/ floats downhill!
Event 2 – The Fried Breakfast
Equal 1st – Ian Why, John Burke, Ray Kelly, Jayne Paine
2nd The Captain *
* The Captain fell victim to more experienced Fryathletes in this demanding section of the competition. Though the Captain proved highly competent with a knife and fork, he was decisively flicked off line meaning he had no choice but to opt for a low scoring American breakfast. Meanwhile, the rest of the field romped home with the highly tactical All-Day Breakfast.
Event 3 – The Up Hill.
1st John Burke
2nd The Captain
3rd Jayne Paine
4th Ray Kelly
