Re: January Virtual Team Challenge
Apparently this is the place to complain. I've received an email and at the top it says : "If this message contains abusive or other comments you find offensive please contact the webmaster of the board" And then a tirade from Stan about 'entering a challenge in January' and a 'golden oppo...

Re: October CTC - 3,861 metres
First 800 @ 2:06.8. Managed to pull down to 2:01.7 for final 681m.
16:08.2 - 2:05.4 - 22 - must do better.
Thinking of you Dave on this sad day. Well done for 25 lots of 3,861 in a row - I'm sure Gaye would be very proud.

I really should come here more often.
