I don't. They were bought in 1983 specifically for racing XC in the Gruenewald in Berlin (little stipply sole). Also good on sand and snow.Quote:

Lovely sunny day in Jockland. Good luck to all 3P'ers.

Bloody Hell, Sarah O'Neill won the ladies race by 14mins!
Some strange results throughout. Looked like times were comparable.. winner 2:55, winner 2011 2:53.. and that was Tom Owens, who was a lot slower this year.. some very good runners slower than you'd expect. Top 10 times were similar 2011 - 2012.. last year it was dry but fairly warm, this year it must have been wetter underfoot..Quote:

Good runs also from Mounsey and Watto, Watto got pipped in the final 50yds by someone who may have been Andrew Jebb.

I went up the race route of Whernside this morning, bananas...I am in awe of you guys and gals who can go this. Me? I am just trying to qualify. Who knows.
Underfoot conditions seemed to make little difference imho. It's so bloody rocky that there were only a few squelchy bits and very few boggy spots to slow us down (with the honourable exception of the leg-swallower at the foot of whernside!) It was the wind - especially in your face all the way off ingleboro to horton - that slowed many down. Tho somehow I was faster. Go figure! Great day as usual Thx to all organisers and marshalls Seamless!Quote:
