Pretty well on time at Teignmouth, but running slowly, presumably because of the Cross-Country running a few minutes ahead.

My video from Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Ollie certainly put on a good show. What would have been nice though is if they stuck a headboard and reporting code on the front of her

 

Agreed!

It looks like the exhaust steam injector on the right hand side might have been misbehaving for both firemen ? Nevertheless it was a good performance by the Brit all day.
