Terrific 2005 – Crans Montana

Michel was as usual, in his "element" last weekend: a big thanks for the great organisation for the 2005 edition of the Crans Montana "Terrific" where Bulldozer came 19'th out of 30 in the entreprises classification.

Individual performances:
Yvan risked life and limb on the roller coming in 12'th but came first in causing accidents on the starting hairpin!
On the up Missile halved the category with a 15'th place - can you say STEEP ?
Dave was 21'st on the Run Up and had to be directed to continue round the corner as he was almost ready for the oxygen mask. Nice one.
Michels score was 2'nd on the ski event and 10'th scratch ! Not bad and 8-9 beers in the sun in the afternoon put him in first place there !
Denis managed to displace dreams of Tunisia and Amsterdam, not to mention whatever nationalities he found on the glacier and placed 21'st in the ski de fond.
Daves effort on the down placed him 27'th and a last minute sprint caught the missile unawares who had to sprint after him also to ensure the relay.
Missile did a poor score on the bike down due to a flat tire half way down: 8'th scratch, 5'th in the category and tied second? on the beers with approx 6. Missile did come first in the sunburn contest due to badly repaired clothing.
Christophe discovered that the ups are up and the downs down and that belgium is flatter than crans. A very red faced (running) (and foreheaded- sunning) Christophe placed 19'th.
Luca braved the icy depths to finish 27'th and proceeded to warm himself up with two meals and not just a few beers (tied 2'nd?). Bravo.
Finally Mathieu raced his bike through the finish line to the applause of no-one (except may be Frederique) because beers needed to be drunk by the ones who had finished, as well as him placing 19'th, somewhat head of the expected schedule !!

A fun day in the sun to be continued next yearCiao
