ah, given that it was a race around the quad in cambridge could it be laps and therefore the answer might be roger bannister?
failing that, i think there was another chris, chris brasher is coming to mind for some reason.

Think you will find that it was Oxford. The University had their own running track, I believe.

then i would guess someone who he was about to lap, so the fellow who came last in the very same race?
as this quiz is stagnating a bit would anyone mind if i jumped in with an ettequte-busting question?

Maybe he ran the last lap on his own cos everyone else had dropped out therefore the answer is Bannister himself?

Peter. I think we all give in. This one is a little too obscure. The Phoenix need to rise to level 66.

Good thinking. I'm interested about the answer but a new question would be grand. Regardless of the right answer, how about YoungKai sparks a new phoenix with his question?
