In a muddy field, far, far away....

Well it was about time I pulled my finger out and did my last update...sniff...as the race was some weeks ago now. This time Juliet was kind enough to come along and Aggy joined the party too. So I finally have a few pics of me on the day.

The weather was some what changable with rain followed by sunshine. The course conditions, therefore, followed suit and changed from thin runny mud to porrage.

The saturday practice went well and in the wetter conditions the race was fast, but very long! I left feeling confident and managed to complete all obsticles in the course.

The sunday came along with the sun which although provided some rest bite from the wet, caused the track to partially dry and turn the riding conditions into a real slog.

The actual run itself was not so great. I spent some 45mins at the top of the course in the bitterly cold wind waiting for my run. this ment going from frozen solid to full throttle, the outcome was getting to the bottom of the course, hyperventilating and seeing stars...with a time that can only be laughed at.

At the end of the day, and with the race being my last for this season, I am still smiling and thats what its all about really. Now the evenings are drawing out I will be able to get out more on the local tracks and look forward to the oportunities of next season.

The blog has been good fun and I hope you have all enjoyed it...so maybe watch this space for next year! Enjoy the pics...
