Cheers for the Hungarian film jodg, and of course the Innis and Gunn beer which has now been consumed, thank you very glad.

Thanks for a great race Andy even if I was 0.57 seconds outside last year's PB (rounded up to 1 second by your wonderful recorders!)
And thanks to Amelia for the jelly babies. If I hadn't dropped the first one and had to go back I would have had a PB!
I must say Steve Temple is on the ball. I gave Andy my entry for the Hayfield Championship a few minutes before the start and by the time I got home I was in the table on the web site!!!
It was the bog that wasn't there last year that slowed you down SwoopAnd thanks to Amelia for the jelly babies. If I hadn't dropped the first one and had to go back I would have had a PB!
True. Didn't Fleeter say he saved a second by going through it?!It was the bog that wasn't there last year that slowed you down Swoop
Oh to be young and fast againTrue. Didn't Fleeter say he saved a second by going through it?!
