Both Phil and I raced thios event. The course was fantastic fun but very hard with a lot of technical descending and muddy climbs. A very good test though. The mud tempted Phil to run his tyres at too low a pressure and he punctured 5 mins into the race and when he changed tubes, he discovered that the double-patched spare he was carrying, actually had a third hole in it that he'd missed. Am I not right in thinking that Phil is normally the first to point out any mechanical ineptitude in others? Food for thought there. I was 6th in the expert race, one down on the previous round. I started fairly steadily and wanted to finish strongly (i bonked big time in the previous round). It worked out, but the guys ahead of me were too far ahead to catch on a last lap dash so I had to settle for 6th. There's more of a report, some pics and a video on my blog: andywaterman.blogspot.com/2009/06/southern-xc-3-pippingford.html
