All riders did the required 2 laps except for McHenry and Pollock. McHenry was allowed the excuse of getting used to pedaling under a normal heart rate rhythm. As for Pollock the prognosis seems to be a strong case of "pansyitis".
We would like to wish regular TT-er Mark Millar a speedy recovery. Mark was recently knocked off the bike by a car while out training and suffered some bad injuries. Mark will no doubt make a speedy recovery but still it was a nasty incident to be involved in. Get back soon.
If it's any consolation for Mark there is a great TV show on at the moment to watch while recovering. The show is set in Rio and is about a film crew from the BBC following a number of athletes. The acting is first rate with plenty of "mild peril" thrown in to make things exciting!

And I'm running out of gas
I only got the two speeds and it's slow and fast."

Special note: the girls times were skewed by a tractor holding them up. There was much shyness about mentioning this at the end!
Thanks to Conor for timekeeping and who takes the award for the smallest writing ever.
