Re: British Junior Champs 4/10
Just exactly who are these races for, are they open to anyone to enter or have runners had to have been selected?

Re: British Junior Champs 4/10
England won overall
U18 Boys - Scotland won team with a 1-2-3 - I think Billy Pinder may have been 1st English in in 4th place - England took Bronze.
U18 Girls - Rebecca Lambson 2nd, Rachel Jefferson 3rd, Kate Titlow 4th and were 1st team. A very impressive Scottish winner.
U16 Boys - Lad for NI won - not sure on placings.
U16 Girls Mel Hyder just pipped on line by Welsh girl - given same time. Laura Riches 3rd, Emma Spencer 6th, Beckie Taylor 7th - England won team.
Lecky got round the Open race in decent nick - gutted I could not join him - blistered badly yesterday at Witton in the XC.

Billy was 5th or 6th. Ryan Gould 7th.
I was last in the u/16 exceptfor a few girls and dropouts however i absolutly loved it and managed to have probably my best descent of the year.
Nice to meet WP and lecky
Re: British Junior Champs 4/10
Sorry to miss you TT - was sat in front of laptop all morning. :confused:
I've sent the provisional results to Bashir, as it is his responsibility to publish. However, there shouldn't be a problem as all the team managers were given a copy to check before the presentation.

Tough. Started off in the field. 200m cross the road up onto a gentle ascent but enough to get the calves. A steep rise and then onto a rocky/dry track. Really steep climb onto a contouring path. Dropdown the gentle descent nice and fast. Steep downhill for 200m best taken on your backside. hit the track at the bottom. Unduglating run for about 1km by the fell wall. Sharp left through a gate. back onto the track and into the finish field.

But the running is mighty fine - as those doing the OMM this year will find. Bog, tussock, tussock, bog. Stuff of my dreams. (and this year it is just that as injury forces withdrawl).
