Seasonal Greetings

[El Gordo]

Hope all RC folk have a grand break from work, wherever you happen to be.

I slipped on some leaves on a dark, wet path in midweek and have managed to twist an ankle. I don't think it's too serious now, but it was swollen and painful for a couple of days. It means I've not run properly since Monday, and probably will have to do without the traditional Christmas morning run. A pretty dismal end to a year that had some great early highlights, but has ended in some frustration.

Still, we've all been doing this long enough now to know that you can always clear the decks and start again, and that's what I'll have to plan for. If I can get a decent run in before the end of the year I'll feel much better. My only target now is to get to the starting line at Almeria. I'm sure I can do it, but I have to take it easy, then ramp up pretty hard. No chance of a record time but just want to get round now. If I do -- WHEN I do -- it will be a good boost for some much tougher targets over the year ahead.

In the meantime, I hope Santa brings you what you asked for. I know what I want....

Cheers all, and thank you for another rollercoaster RC year.
