I know those hills well Stagger. The pictures make the ground look comparatively dry to previous years and the record was broken by the first 2 despite many top class athletes missing and despite the fact that Rob was well beaten less than a month before by 2 of the missing athletes......so I've made an assumption that weather conditions have been more favourable based on this (I did also mention 'wind' as a possible factor, not just wet ground).
You were right about fishing though- why?
Because clearly you look like a twonk!
EDIT: I never said Rob didn't have a great run...you'll see that i complemented him. All i mentioned was that his task was easier with so many top runners missing and that I don't happen to think he's in his top form at the moment......its hardly slabbering at the guy is it, by saying that he's going to get better throughout the season?
