Oh no he isn't.....

Well it is Panto season.

After receiving my trophy it appears I didn't win after all. I am not "First Duathelete". I am in fact second. Hopefully the engraver can spell this time.

"As sometimes happens, there's been a correction which means that you finished 2nd, not 1st, in the 2008 Duathlon Competition. The winner was actually Chris Nicoll of Derby. I had failed to connect his best triathlon score to his duathlons; he beat you by some forty points. I do apologise for this, and I suggest that you keep the trophy I sent, but have the engraved plate changed so that your trophy shows 2nd instead of 1st. I'll send another trophy to Chris, and have the placings on Tri247 amended.
If it will be of any encouragement to you I can tell you that Chris's wife Sally is expecting to have a baby in about three weeks' time, so he may not be quite so lively in 2009!"

I did say it was a bit like British sports car production. Reliability is over-rated
