Event: Ratlum Mountain
 

So, of course, what AT & T actually meant when they said they'd activate my internet yesterday was "we'll try to activate your internet, fail, then let you drag your desktop around every potential phone port in the house, test the connection, then let you spend an hour on the phone talking to a computer so we can perform a thirty second test to figure out that we failed to switch it on, then make you wait another two days for an engineer to come round". Not impressed!

It's a good job I wasn't that bothered about watching Jukola isn't it?

Race 1 at Ratlum. Really fun sprint planned by Charlie. Totally wiped out with the old rubber studs on slimy wooden bridge trick at number one, then struggled a bit through the veg to achieve the top of the hill at number 2. After that not too bad at all, heart racing by the time I got back to the top of the hill.

Race 2 at Ratlum, maintaining Team Dibs in their favourite second place. Despite going a bit faster than Joe on this leg he had too much of a lead to catch. Bad route to one, thought I'd be able to cut through the woods, then changed my mind when I saw them - should have started out the same way as the first lap. After than pretty much spot on - tried to cut a corner to the platform but then went round when I saw the veg. Running hard at the end - that's the highest my pulse has made it in a long while! JJ managed not to die (today at least), and we were pleased with our efforts.
