(my main aim of the season) at a junior level it's a stronger standard than inter-counties.
SuperSooks Jan 2011 10:57pm, 13 Jan 2011 56 posts	Quote Pin SuperSooks I think I've just missed out on Inter counties this year, there are a lot of good, keen XC runners in my county and I only finished 18th in the county championship - and knowing the ladies who finished in front of me there are none likely to turn down a place. I managed to get in last year as our county champs were cancelled and i had run well enough in the league to get chosen. It was fun last year but I got a bit over-excited when the camera was on our pen at the start - as Steph Twell was in my county team!
runningowl Jan 2011 8:27pm, 15 Jan 2011 62 posts	Quote Pin runningowl Quick question for spike wearers. In last two x-countries i have noticed a 50/50 split of runners, mainly front runners, wearing no socks and some wearing socks with their spikes. What is everyones opinion?
