No, it wasn't a serious effort or anything. I just decided, when we turned up and there were only two other people using the track, that I'd give it a try. If it had been a serious effort I probably wouldn't have ordered the second bottle of wine with dinner the night before...
Well done for giving it a go, even if you are disappointed with the distance. Was it as hard as you envisaged?
I'm sure if you want to improve it @xavierdisley would be more than happy to help for a fee.
