Despite it being cut short it was still a great race, I'll be back next year, still full of hope that I'll beat my soft PB
the AI effect was the reason I came off the forum for a while but as I type the same old drivel has just blown up on the facebook site so I have blocked the lot of them so I dont have to read it
