The guys will be the first to agree they were not in the shape they should have been. you are entitled to your opinion about them and what happend but think that it should be done in a fair mannor. It was in fact my place that you took at the last minute this year. unfortunately i had been working away and had no chance of training for this years event. These things happen when you join a team at short notice. I myself have had to join a team with only a couple of weeks notice and its the risk you take when doing so that they are pretty much guaranteed to be either faster or slower than you.
