I've been trawling back through some stuff and thought, seeing as Pete molicated the cycle course record in this year's Sprint, to update the lists showing the fastest in each discipline year by year. Course records are in red.....the more I look at those red times the less I comprehend.....they are so bloody fast.
Well done Pete....fastest in all three disciplines....only Orkney's Bobby Oag in 2006 has completed the "sweep".

As far as I can ascertain, that brilliant race by Bobby in 2006 is a massive course record of 57.32 and that day he was pushed all the way by another Orcadian, Thomas Fay, who also ducked under the hour in 59.47....incidentally both of them were juniors at the time.
If people are willing to have a look at all the different categories that might make further "interesting reading"....volunteers?
