    Up at 4,two and a half hour drive,race,drive back for start of afternoon shift at work.



    Or to answer the question, about stupid o'clock.

    bugger..so I sall expect you to be soooopah fast to get back on time then!
  • jonEjonE Posts: 1,113
    I don't know about being sooopah fast,I have factered in a large race time,to fit in with my shift start time,if it all goes SNAFU,I'll just bin it,rather than face the sack,it shouldn't happen though.

    I have done worse,1.30am shift finish after 10 hour shift,couple of hours kip before setting off at 4.30 for a couple of hour drive to race then get back to work for a shift.Hoping the swim will wake me up.

    I will be the bloke looking like he lost a tenner & found a fiver....only registered after wangling said day off & because I thought the sun might shine this year! Oh accompanied by a pained looking Lady Britspin who will probably be wearing most of her wardrobe after having to buy extra last year. In BRAT colors of course.
  • jonEjonE Posts: 1,113
    I'll keep my eyes open,and the sun will shine,it will I tell you.Look forward to seeing you and your good lady.

    I try to keep a low profile,so the name on the list will not match my psuedonym,but you should have no problem finding me.

    Congratulations to all the Rookies that competed,in what could be said as slightly inclement conditions,I hope that none were put off by the conditions,inexperienced or regular sunday warrior were all hit by some vengeful Tri Gods today.
