Also watched the European Champs from Lisbon yesterday lunchtime.

Great performances from Britain to take team gold in the mens and ladies, along with the Mixed Relay, and a couple of junior events.

Although the course had a few hills on it, it wasn't very tough underfoot... it wasn't even as muddy as our league race on saturday, which was itself notable for a lack of mud.

Now we are undisputed champions of Europe we should get them over here on Corniceman's course up at Woollaton Park... that would put hairs on their chests...
