British Champion
2002
On the run in (picture from
CompassSport)
(Age Group Champion
in the past, running for SYO)
Last year, he lost
most of the season because of a broken arm. This year, his training
was rewarded by winning the British Championships. Calm nerves
were needed; as he went through the Spectator Control he heard
the commentator announce "Dan Marston is in the lead".
Somewhat distracting, but he kept his nerve to win by 2 minutes!
On Saturday 18th August
2001 I was listening to an interview with a couple involved in
Enigma Code-Breaking during the Second World War and was surprised
when I realised that the couple were SYO retired stalwarts Shiela
and Oliver Lawn.
