Wed 20 Aug 2008

A lot happened today, and several matches and aggregates were completed, so this could be quite a long report. However, given that I've just enjoyed some very fine leg of lamb, butterflied for the BBQ, plus some pretty reasonable Bordeaux, and also the requirement to be awake in the morning for an 8 AM start, it may be short for now, perhaps added to in the morning.

It was another beautiful day, with the same brisk breeze from the front, making quite swift changes, including crossing from left to right in the twinkling of an eye.

In the evening, we fired the remaining relays of Monday's matches, the Brick 600y and the Beckett 800m. The wind was much lighter, but the gathering dusk did not make things totally trivial.

You will excuse me if I just mention winners and leaders tonight. The full lists are on the DCRA web site and may be obtained by clicking on the links below.
