Bit of a grumble

[racaille]

Just got the times through for the TREC on Sunday. I have a late-ish start which is good but means that the driving carriages will have already taken up all the parking space There are also a million littlies (yuk) taking part in the Handi TREC - no idea what that is.

But my grumble is really that I am the only individual in my class of 'individuals', all the others are pairs, which is a heck of a lot easier as one person reads the map and the other looks out for the markers.

I have also done something nasty to my right elbow which is agony. My OH's clever solution was to strap it up until I pointed out that I would be pretty rubbish riding one-armed.

I keep telling myself: do NOT get competitive, this is fun. FUN!

FUN!!! FUN!!! (Just to help you remember )

It seems very unfair that the 'individual' class is full of pairs On the other hand, imagine how satisfying it will be to beat a few of them!

echo Pboy- you know you will be better than most- they are doing it in pairs as they are nervous! What on earth have you done to your elbow? Get that voltarol gel on it in vast quantities!

I don't know Brig, it started after a day of fencing, knocking steel posts into hard ground and then got a lot worse ... when? I am forever injuring myself and forget what happened where ... I am notoriously clumsy and always covered in bruises. Yup, didn't think of drugs - I usually say; Man up! But what a good idea this time!

But of course you are right about the competition , I do get hyper-competitive which is why I stress so much. Calm down, calm down!

Looking forward to the report!! There is a local TREC on near me on Sunday but im away at the RS all day and im gutted in missing going to watch! They are doing a little spring/summer PTV and MA league at various venues around the province and the first one is on sunday. My friend is doing it on her cob so shes looking forward to it! They are also proposing a TREC camp in the summer which i would love to take murphy to if he gets up to speed - excited just thinking about it!
