Quite a few guys racing at the Beaver Fest tomorrow, me included. Weather forecast is pants (location must be too close to Rutland Water). The Beaver is Middle Distance and the Little Beaver is Standard Distance, and a World Qualifier.

I am camping tonight and will have the RAF Tri Sail Flag flying. Let's race strong in memory of our President who sadly died at Brize Sprint last Wed.

An early start tomorrow - see you there Sags! I'll keep my eyes open for the flag.

From the website we have:

Little Beaver (that is not really little!):

Sarah Hazell (once she finds her bike legs, watch out!)
Sue Pugh (watch out Bev, she is getting faster!)
Stu McLeod (great result at Brize!)
Joe Dale (fast man!)
Dale Grassby (human fish)
Ross Glendinning (not met him but race strong!)
Blair McDonald (Ditto)
Ian Grogan (Ditto)
Maria Prout (fast lady!)
Mark Prout (Man with fast wife!)
Bev Childs (No intro needed!)
Fred Harbottle (Ex Chairman and all round cool dude!)


Beaver:
Adam Grant (The face of Pacesetter Events Website)
Mark Sags (Old and creaky)
Andy Fisher (getting older but not creaky)
Jase Wakley (Young and fast)
Nick Davies (Old and creaky like me)
Pete Norris (withdrawn injurred)
Rob Winchester (Not met but race strong!)

Didn't realise there was so many!

That's a list and a half!

Enjoy the lovely weather forecast - I just rode through torrential rain, looked like drowned rat - so no change from normal then!

Good luck one and all! Make us all proud!

Race strong folks, I'll be in my garage adjusting all my bikes to match my recent bike fit. But at least I will be dry!

A typical Bank Hol race. Lashing it down with rain and plenty of wind to make the hills even harder; I think we all suffered! Well done to Bev who came 2nd in her age cat! Right, off to see if I can find those bike legs......

I particularly liked the 45 degree slope on the "flyover" - 8 times! At least it warmed up for the Big Beaver. Well done for finishing.

yes a real suffer fest! Well done Sarah! Its been a while since an RAF girl beat Bev! Keep riding that bike and you will surely improve further.

well done to Fish who smashed the course to win overall! How on earth does he run off the bike like that!

great race from Jase Walkley too and he is looking good for his first Ironman.

have not had a chance to trawl through all the results yet but is was a tough day for all. I ran past Nick and Granty and they both seemed to be going well.

What an awful day, the weather was shocking which matched my race! Got to get alot faster yet Sags! Well done to all that finished, a tough day for all...now for some trg
