OK end of debate from me.
I wasn't suggesting she was your Pipps in that manner.....merely that clearly you support her.

All your statements of her achievement while good on the CV have to be qualified. For example, I once claimed a county schools track championship with only person to beat in the race.......not my fault, I could only race whoever turned up on the day......doesn't make me worthy of an international vest.


You must understand that I am not saying this scenario applies to Pippa but more demonstrating that statements of achievement need to be qualified. Furthermore, both Mary Wilkinson and Olivia Walwyn (who were selected) competed well in the trial race, have a history of running internationally in championship mountain races and in the case of Olivia has twice been in the top 20 of the English national xc champs, and once the top 10.
