It's over!!!!

Just a few snapshots from WTOC which has just finished. This is the first day of my life without TrailO. It doesn't feel as liberating as I thought it might, but there is plenty of time yet for it to sink in.

I have made so many very very good friends that the love I got from them, the grateful faces, the concentration while competing and all the lovely comments make up for the frustrations I have felt over the treatment of all the WTOC team by the central organisation from Miskolc. I suppose one mustn't wash one's dirty linen in public, but it is a never ending source of sadness in my life how irresponsible, unsuitable and downright malicious people can get away with all their nastiness just because the nice people let them. The jury is still out on this as far as I am concerned and we will see what (if anything) I will do about it.

If there are any people out there reading this who have been affected by any of our shortcomings during the last week, I can only profusely apologise. Especially to the one team (they know who they are) who I had to write a very painful e-mail to yesterday and whom I will never be able to look in the face without feeling utterly embarrassed and ashamed. Do please try it in your heart to forgive us!

Now for packing up and leaving. Ber awaits, knee high grass, dead vegetables, tons of post and all the other delights of getting back after nearly 2 weeks.
