    Re: And so it starts - XCountr

    it was surprisingly good, but well churned up after you ladies & the kids had been on it (...its a stock excuse ) that hill was a bit tough, especially on lap 3-tired-legs. Amazingly we're 3rd in the ladies Div 1 and even more amazingly we're top of the men's div 2 - our best ever day, going to be tough next time though as we'll be without some of our key runners. I love the Park Hall course though, have you doen it before?

    Yep, have run at Park Hall, but not for AGES. I too like the course there: more rolling and not a bog.
    Was my first run at the Lyme Valley course.........a lesson in looking at the route before I race:- didn't really know how far that 2nd lap was (DOH!)

    Well, that made a nice change. just wanted to die at the start of the 1st 'short' lap and go back to the start (like Disco ) but then came too a bit and started progressing. Forumites aplenty, the master is still alive by the way

    My time was well off from last years one. I think I must have been going backwards or doing too many race results and not enough races.
    www.vlaevents.co.uk Fancy something different?

    Results will be up here soon - just bear with them. Many of the clubs failed to pre-register their athletes, so they have hundreds of names/clubs etc to enter before the results can go out

    Some didn't even turn up on time

    Some of us who turned up on time wish we hadn't

    But as the saying goes 'things can only get better', I hope so!!
