TO ALL COMPASS SPORT CUP PARTICIPANTS – SHERWOOD PINES – 15/03/2015

.... No Tony Wagg I did not spot you riding through the glen!!!!.... and the only Green man I saw out there was Martin Green Men and he didn’t have a bow and arrow either...not that my compass is worth much anyway....

I received a nice message from Alison Doyle which said: “Good luck . Will be thinking of you all as I float down a river in Costa Rica looking at the wildlife and soaking up the rays !!”....Ummm thanks for that Alison I thought of you when I took a wrong turn in a gully and thought maybe I should have been in floating down a river too....

Oh well....Team place 6^th we’ve done better!...but not that far behind 4^th http://www.cix.co.uk/~neper/csc2015/team_points.pdf  and although some of us could have been cleaner everyone I met seemed to have enjoyed the day out and the rain never came which helped.  Yes the courses were not that technical but in my opinion this sport is never ‘easy’ and it’s ‘dangerous’ to think so, which is may be why we all come back for more.  As soon as competitors pick the speed up on flat areas like this (Tom F did sub 5.4m/k) then I believe it’s true to say that there’s less time to think, everything comes at you quicker and, as for a sprint, there is less time to make decisions....  In turn this meant on some courses there was scope for route choice errors and potential confusion in the areas with gullies and bike paths. 

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR 25 POINT SCORERS (SEE BELOW) AND SOME OF YOU HAD EXCEPTIONAL RUNS – WE CAN SEE WHO YOU ARE!!!
