I promise a bigger, more exciting post full of pictures soon – but for now I am happy to post up on here that I managed to win the UK competition this year, though the competition was incredibly tough. I don’t know exact scores but I clocked in around 720, Se came in second around 690 and Ed Buston very close to him.
Standard was very, very high and I think that this will be that last time I compete in the UK. The last three years have been great fun but I think I have reached my limit of enjoyment. Looking forward to Tokyo very much and I got some great prizes but more to follow in the full report….
I am very happy, and very relieved and very, very tired.

Fantastic effort James.
It is so hard to back up year after year.
I am about to find out myself, as my Australian heat is this week!
I will be in Tokoyo either way, so look forward to seeing you there.
Congratulations Again, Awesome effort.

Twice in a row that’s awesome.
Your “Mad scientist” skills are truly an inspiration for me.
Looking forward to see you someday when you’ll come to Canada.

I know I personally congradulated you yesterday but just to add that I admired your lack of complacency with regard to the final. Flying thud was filling me in on the extensive Saturday practise sessions. Enjoy your week off – you deserve it.
