A good time in the lakes!

Hi All,
Back home after a really promising weekend in Killarney, for the Rally of the Lakes. The rally worked out perfect, we took Saturday steady in the tricky conditions, building confidence after the Circuit of Ireland crash, having a good go at Molls Gap, and we were 5th overall overnight. Sunday was better for us, the confidence was starting to come back. A fastest time over the famous Carragh Lake stage was a real boost for us, and with Tim McNulty exiting late in the day, we were satisfied with out 4th overall. However on the last stage, disaster struck for my good friend Alastair Fisher when he slid wide and damaged the wheel on his car, allowing us to snatch 3rd overall at the last second! Not the way we wanted to do it, but rallying can be a cruel sport at times. This result leaves us lying third in the Irish Tarmac Championship, and Alastair sitting pretty at the top of the table. It's still early days, but it's shaping up to be an exciting finish to the season!
I know have a three week break to the Jim Clark Rally in Scotland. I'm going to try and knuckle down on my fitness and try and prepare as best I can, as I feel the tarmac rally's ahead are going to be the toughest in my British Rally Championship campaign. I have my twitter set up on my Blackberry now so you should notice the tweets coming more regular!
All the best
Craig
