Pfft anyone racing Parkrun instead of the Regional XCs needs a talking to (unless they're doing BUCS XC next weekend, then they get a pass).
Northerns was flat(ish), firm and fast in Pontefract. Carl Bell could be seen leading the race for the first 2/3rds of a lap at least. Plenty of fell running faces - I've picked a few out from the men's race (only reason for being picked out: I recognise their name on the results and from championship fell race results). Hoping that 4 weeks extra training in the bank will co-incide with 4 weeks of rain at Harewood house so we can have hills and a mud bath at The National.
