South Woodham Meet

Just got back from a meet at Tatem Park hosted by the South Woodham Ferrers club. Even with the crap weather (which was at least kind enough not to actually rain more than 2 minutes on us) it was a good time. Bonus: I was moved down to Cat 4 and took 3rd place *bounce* I haven't been on a podium in years. To do this I had to beat pretty much all of my team, so that was good. As was my improved use of race tactics and a few lessons I took away from it, points where I could have done better.
Extra bonus: the guys from North London showed up (basically the gents I was training with at ExCel) and it was lovely to see them plus the group from Leicester again. I've decided to ignore the politics. I like these people, I've trained with them and I don't need to explain that to anyone.
Now I'm sore, tired and hungry, so I think I will change out of my uniform, feed myself, take a nap and get some revision in (or go watch a movie downstairs).
It has been a wonderfully pleasant day.
