caseyjones 3,009 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Second fastest with two to go who won't be a danger in this element. Bit of a disappointment, but he will gain on the leaders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseyjones 3,009 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I'm so fucking lost with this event I warned you that it was mental.
