YAY for the weather forecast......... it was right!! there was at least 14cm of snow settled on the roof of poor old Matti (yes I'm talking about the car again)
Just finished the last Wadenhoe of the series today and it was great fun, didn't break any records, (obviously) because of the SNOW, but it was great to get out and to see everyone there. Although numbers where limited I had some great 'head to head' races, so thank you Steve on the run stage and thank you Keith on the kayak stage. As a bonus no one had an unexpected swim. On the bike stage those that were watching commented on the fact that although it was obviously hard, every one seemed to be 'enjoying' themselves and took to the event with great humour. Many of these onlookers spent their time shaking their heads in disbelief.
I heard that the Frostbite was cancelled...? They missed out in some proper amazing fun in the snow. I suspect the guys down at Wadenhoe are made of slightly sterner stuff...
I am putting together an 'event video' of the race. My dad has taken some great shots and I have looked at the master tapes... just a little problem though, is it is going to take an age to sort it all out and make a video, it should all hopefully be done within a week... So watch this space!! I will upload the video to MultiSportTomStead (my youtube account) I will post the link on this page... Once there please feel free to download or whatever!
Above are a few 'taster' screen shots of whats to come
Well done to all,and thanks to Mark and his team for putting on a great event. I Can't wait until Boxend!
