So it’s over. A lovely day out with all St Bees starters finishing one way or another. The official results aren’t in but my timing was 8 hours 28 minutes, so well under the 9 hours target. Only a little sunburn to contend with today and not too much stiffness. A full report when the results are in…..

Battered
Bruised
Broken
Bass week
All of the above have made it a difficult week. My lack of ability gave me a 28th out of 46th over the whole 16 race where I managed to get in 5 races and 2 retirements. Once for a broken clew tie down and the second down to the 4 dunkings I got on one leg, not surprisingly a run. Still I did manage to almost hit the laser logo on one of the ‘offs’ just goes to show the power in the wind by throwing a 85Kg man 3 metres through the air!
The bruises on my shines have nearly gone, the one on my forearm has turned a lovely green colour and the chunk that is missing from my right hand is growing back nicely. All things considered quite injury free.

Just a couple of action shots from the Selkirk Merida for the pot.
The first photo was after about 7 miles just before entering a steep ditch and the second after around 35 miles after the last fast off road descent through the heather and believe it or not a short bog (It was July and in Scotland so just be thankful I wasn’t eating midges all the way round).
Before you ask I wasn’t holding that lot up behind, I’d just overtaken alright!
