And here's a summary of 2010:
32 singles, 5 doubles, 1 x 10 in 10, one huge dent in my credit card
1 Zurich 2 Stansted Stagger 3 10 in 10 Club AGM :-| 4 Portland Coastal 5 Gloucester :-| 6 Marrakech 7 Seville 8 Malta 9 Grantham Day 1 10 Grantham Day 2 :-| 11 Rome 12 Easter Enigma 13 Connemara 14 Connemara 15 Brighton 16 London 17 10 in 10 Day 1 18 10 in 10 Day 2 19 10 in 10 Day 3 20 10 in 10 Day 4 :-| 21 10 in 10 Day 5 22 10 in 10 Day 6 :-| 23 10 in 10 Day 7 24 10 in 10 Day 8 25 10 in 10 Day 9 26 10 in 10 Day 10 27 Chester :-| 28 Dartmoor Discovery 29 Langport Day 1 30 Langport Day 2 31 Mauritius 32 Tanners 33 Fairlands Valley 34 Summer Enigma 35 Faversham 36 Isle of Man 37 Fleetwood 38 Kent Coastal 39 2 to go :-| 40 Nottingham 41 Grantham Day 1 :-| 42 Grantham Day 2 43 Great Langdale 44 Jersey 45 Leicester 46 Abingdon 47 Brentwood 48 Snowdonia 49 Porto 50 Cornish 51 La Rochelle 52 Calvia
I've assigned smileys to each race to calculate a very unscientific measure. 1 point for each , -1 point for each , :-| is just a oh, you know sort of race, for surprising races, usually good surprises, for landmark races or placings, and the odd or for, well, they had to go in somewhere. Starting from 0, the total score is +16, which roughly means I enjoyed 16 of 'em. Don't look at it the other way round......
I won't be doing 52 in a year ever again, aside from the over training, over racing, tiredness, mental fatigue, time consuming admin and sheer jadedness with the whole thing, it's bloody expensive. Nice to have ticked the box, but I wouldn't recommend it.
