On the weekend of 3-5 October at Porto we had one of the 2014 City Race events.  On Friday evening in the Night Urban Kirsty Staunton won the Women's Super Vet class and I was 2nd in the Men's Ultra Vet class.  The next morning was the relays and score events and the Cooper Family (Philip, Helen and Rachael) were 2nd in the Open Short Relay.  Then finally on Sunday in the City Race Kirsty was 2nd in the Women's Super Vet and I was 2nd in the Men's Ultra Vet. 

We came home with lots of bottles of Tawny Port, tins of sardines and mackerel, packets of biscuits and smelly soap.  A number of winners had to book hold luggage to get all their prizes home.  The rest either drank it (Belgians) or got it confiscated (even the tins) by security at the airport!!
