lol Bandita is a dag.. too cute - Well, don't you look quite the professional. It's easy to see from the pics that this is something that was both fun and very much wanted (and I'm cheating because you told us!! lol) and you actually look comfortable out there. What a brilliant NSV for you - to be able to run and finish like that.. you amaze me, Sarah. Bloody well done!!
