Speaking of the race, he added: ‘This is the first time I’ve run in the wig, I underestimated how much you can sweat for your hairline.’
Proud of his achievement, Rei knew exactly what he had planned following his triumph of completing the race.
‘I’m just going to wait for my mate to finish, then I'm off to get a burger and maybe even a beer’, he said.
