Just wonder if the final race will indeeed by the Viking Chase as it seems the 2nd Commonwealth Mountain Champs are on the same weekend in Llanberis. It's a possibility that some people may need to be in 2 places at the same time.

In many sports, it would seem that top level competitors decide where their priorities lie at the start of the season; home or international success and honours. There will inevitably be clashes, and therefore choices to be made. At the highest level, competitors will already have a plan to peak for London 2012, which may well mean missing other major events.
I am aware of a young runner, who on two occasions entered an English Championship round despite having been selected for the imminent World Junior Champs. The runner suffered an injury both times, but fortunately did not have to withdraw from the World's on the second demonstration of poor judgement.
My point is that there comes a time where a serious choice has to be made. That is why selectors often insist on agreeing a training and racing plan before major championships.
Going downhill fast - until I fell over
I wasn't only refering to athletes - the athletes involved may only be a few because of the age of course. I was also thinking of the "management" as it ties in with the Do.
My only problem is that 4 of the races are smack bang in the middle of exams
