Pity you're not signed up for Sixmilebridge, you'd have clocked up a couple of 100M weeks no bother.

Yes, well done on the Lee swim. I don't know anything about the Lee swim, perhaps you could elaborate a bit on the swim....tell a few details about it, or make something up....but either way, nice job.

I'm drinking extra wine so I can save all the corks for you for Oxford. 40 more hours running around like a bottle of Moet ready to pop should make interesting viewing!

hot to trot

You were running pretty fast around the track. Great mileage in the time you were out. Slowing down for the 48 hours will guarantee you some big mileage. You are So ready for this. Havent seen you in as good shape for long time. Forgot to congratulate you on the swim.
Well done UM
