Yep -haven't got a clue either - but with 4500 participants it is quite a big 'do'- been asked to help as the 'token Brits' here.

Will The Three Kings be taking part?

[woolybanana]

Be modern; the Three Queens! Well, they seem to have loved dressing up, plus dripping themselves in gold and all that smell myrrh - maybe a travelling drag act; actually; 'myrrh' suggests sheep, so either they were sheep huggers or actual sheep; or were they in fact the shepherds who had nicked the pressies off some innocent passing king or queen; or was the VM so pissed that she mistook a box of M and S chocolate money for the real thing etc. History does not tell us.

Well it was a good day - incredible how popular this sport is with Finns, Swedes, Norwegians, but also Russians, Slovaks, Czechs. We also had many Brits, French and Germans today. 4500 competitors and their families to be fed and watered. Great weather helped.
