That was probably the most exciting analogue sporting event I've watched since the Headingley test match against Australia on Ceefax in 1981.
The final twist took me completely by surprise. I thought back to Steffen suggesting to Lael that they finish together in TABR 2016, which I remember a bunch of us discussing on the thread.
Context was very different: the offer this time coming from the one who had just taken the lead rather than the one who had lost it, and with clear danger in racing down a mountain track in the dark being a big factor - but I still had to chuckle when I checked back to Skinny's response on the old TABR thread:
'It's a fucking race. Not a tea party.' !
