Hungária Kupa Day 5

Chasing start on a town sprint - interesting concept! Although they didn't call it a town sprint, rather a shortened distance classic. That it may have been for the longer courses, but my 1.9km decidedly felt like a town sprint. I made no special effort to kill myself in the by now 38 degrees Celsius, so Ágika beat me by about 3 minutes on the last day, but even with this, I was in by the time she started. Roy found himself a nice shady place next to a control about 350 yards from the Finish, right opposite a nice little buffet with ice cream, beer, pizza and chips. He was having a good time too. After the final results ceremony, during which I received a nice pottery medal and a large bottle of Tokaji Aszu for winning W60 overall, we packed up and drove home via Tesco and were in by 7.15pm.

This morning I had another call from Elian and watched him gurgle, smile and put away a large bottle full of milk. He is nearly 2 months old now and getting cuter by the minute. Now we are into catching up with work: first we had to harvest our grapes and they are now fermenting nicely in the fourth cefre barrel. The computer needs attention, in spite of having WiFi where we stayed, I didn't really have the time to spend ages to answer e-mails etc. I have already done a load of washing and plenty more stuff still needs doing.
