Take it off the Championship List? Oh god they've started already, someone fetch the shotgun, the idiots are loose again!! Based on your logic the Great Lakes wasn't representative of a true championship race either because clearly most of the top runners can't navigate particularly well, and some people happen to be stronger swimmers than others too!! I didn't see it affecting the final standings though.
I expect to have a damn good crack at scoring points again on Sunday, but if I can't make it I really wouldn't expect them to start adding other races in at this stage. Just take your medicine and crack on, there's always Wasdale to get your AL in but I guess we'd better pray there isn't a fine blanket of drizzle or a few extra wisps of cloud in the air first.
As an aside to the organisers, the communication to competitors this week has been outstanding and extremely helpful in ensuring we have no excuse for not making a sound judgement on kit/ability etc. Many Thanks for your hard work on our behalf, top job indeed!
