Latest news is deep cut on his cheek and lip and still a little confused, but doing well.
just posting this from Cathals's a/c
he's out of hospital but looks like he did 10 rounds with Katie Taylor!
Big thanks to Nathalie and all the marshals and ambulance guys for looking after him. Thanks for all the get well messages.
He says he's gonna stick to marshalling next year :)
Oh yeah he has no memory of the crash so if anyone can fill us in about what happened that'd be great, the more embarassing the better!;D

oh no..hes lost that job..hes in charge of parking from now on..feckin eejit !! take no s hit from him Trish..he told me he couldn't come to the Blast because he was taking you away to Paris to propose !!
Is part of the puzzle that Justin found his saddle a good distance from the crash? Relieved to hear he is well and back home, he was flying by all accounts. Your fellow students will be both impressed and terrified of you now.
cathals crash
was following him down he was in 4th
place and he took the north shore drop ,not sure if he touched the brakes but faceplanted into the ground pretty hard and was out for around 10 to 15 seconds!!!!! he came round and was seriously groggy but fair play to him he done what he was told and stayed down. after about 5 to 10 mins he got up himself and sat down and the marshal came up and he seemed fine at that point so myself and one of the other mbcc lads who stayed carried on . in fairness to cathal it was a hard hit as his face showed :eek:get well soon kid catch you next year .oh ya first blast f****ng awesome best craic ever .

Seriously though thanks are due.
To Davey and his mate from MBCC.
To Nat and the Marshalls.
To the lads in the ambulance.
To the staff in Vincents.
To Justin and Richie for looking after my gear.
To everyone who texted and rang to see if I was alright.
To Trish for putting up with me.
I've no idea what happened. I don't remember anything after waiting around in the woods for heat two to start. I've a new, better, set of brakes I'm getting used to. I wonder did I brake when I meant to scrub? The saddle thing is weird. I've a black eye and six stitches below my eye and another couple in my lip. Got off light really.
