.......are u11's allowed to race? I was at a county xc finals today with my nephew, he had won his qualifing race over 2k ( needed every metre of it to get going ) but turned up to run today and the race was 1400metres and was totally flat, a very poor course, which suited those with lots of raw speed. My nephew ran ok but was very dissap as he finished outside the top 5 or 6, he was outpaced from the word go and never got into the race.
I asked the bloke who organised it about the course and he said u11s are only allowed to race upto 1500metres!!! Now I dont think this is correct but I dont know for sure, does anyone?
