Pat goes on the course in about 30 minutes. He's very determined and focused this morning. As usual, you'll be receiving as good of coverage as I can muster. Wish I could say I was as focused. If you know what I mean? LOL.

1:22 on the west coast, and I can't wait to see how things go. Go pat Go you Can do it.

Whats the weather doing in Bangor today, is it going to be a good day for the boys that like it wet.(oh er missus)

BBC Forecast is heavy rain, just like home for the spanish contingent.

The Bangor Sea is angry today. We've got winds clocking near 40 miles an hour. It nearly zero degrees - and Pat's riding like crap. Absolute CRAP! Pat and I got into a heated discussion on section 4, as I was trying to get the 17 year olds head in the game.

Yet, somehow, he's tied for first after the first loop with 2 others (Jack Challoner and Alex Ferrer) at 15 dabs. If we ever needed some extra prayers, nows the time.

The mean sea.

It the wooded area. Section 7. A nice break from the wicked wind.

Long story short. Pat finished second today.

Forgot to mention. Congratulations to Jack Challoner on a excellent ride and a first place finish. Jack was, as you say, spot on.

Thanks for keeping us updated,

Well Done Jack

great job pat, podium finishes are great, don't beat yourself with to much pressure remember it's supposed to be fun and a learning experience. take it all in and enjoy. remember the hard times make us stronger and better. if you can finish on podium when your not pleased with your riding just think what you can do when you relax and ride your best.
