Re: BRIC 2015 Reloaded
Well, I survived the 500 and have a silver medal to show for it. It was very close, I don't think the gap got to be more than 2m but in the end I couldn't find the extra bit to close this gap!

Well done in the 500m Guy. It was great meeting you today. I might pop over to Scotland for next year's SIRC. Be nice to touch base with you and John again.

Re: BRIC 2015 Reloaded
Thanks All
It was good to meet you Paul & good to see you on the podium even if I was too occupied warming up to watch your race. I tried to see if a little less fly & die on my 500 that I did at the Welsh would be faster so I tried to hold my initial push steady once I got to 1:25/500 but I ended up slightly slower. Of course I cant be sure how much the various other environmental facts affected things so I may need to do a little more experimentation.
Just 0.2s off the top spot doesn't sound like much but it felt like an eternity !!

Re: BRIC 2015 Reloaded
Thanks everyone. The words of encouragement before the event really helped a lot. Now that it's over I'm not sure I want to put myself through anything like that ever again, but I'm sure I'll change my mind several times before the next big event comes up.
