Think we've done 3x Worlds, 3x Euros, 1x Italian champs and a smattering of UKs. Still don't remember Chipps paying for the tattoo 🙂

I've randomly got half of MNPR arriving on my doorstep on the 8th, so I'm not sure I can make it. Argh!

I was 23rd in the world, sswc 2000+1
I think it was because I didn’t drink too much on the sat night before the race
