In the autumn of 1955, as a four year old boy, Mike Harris had his very first race - he finished 3rd from 3! Advance 60 plus years to the spring of 2016 and now just three months short of his 65th birthday, Mike had yet another race, literally one of thousands since 1955, but this time, despite his advancing years, and unlike his first outing so long ago, he finished 1st. On conclusion of the event, as the other competitors departed for a well-earned rest and something to eat, Mike went directly to the nearest swimming baths and swam 150 lengths, before he too went for a rest and something to eat. As simple as it is, therein lies the secret of Mike’s latest win and the many hundreds of sporting victories which preceded it. His theory is that he simply trained ‘more’ and did it ‘more often’. The continuous extraordinary sporting successes over the previous 60 years were earned by being different! A quite remarkable journey, from 1955 to 2016!
