Callum Bampton Dec 2012 8:29pm, 2 Dec 2012 90 posts	Quote Pin Callum Bampton Good running all! I won my under 15 race at Abingdon (Oxford league) - Was 4th overall with the under 17's.. seemed quite average but on reflection I wasn't beat by any mucks... Also turned out that the course didn't suit me -- haven't done much anaerobic work so explains why I couldn't churn out a fast kilometer and my hill speed is lacking.
Callum Bampton Dec 2012 4:33pm, 7 Dec 2012 93 posts	Quote Pin Callum Bampton Southern inter-counties xc champs tomorrow. An inter-county event between: Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hampshire, Hertfordshire Kent, Middlesex, Norfolk, Suffolk, Surrey and Sussex. Different quality to races I've ran in but will be interesting to see how I place with some of the top (7 of the 90 field placed in the top 15 UK 1500M / Inter-counties xc. Will aim for a top 8 finish.. but as I said I don't know what to expect. Anyone else got any races planned over this weekend?

mxhornet Dec 2012 6:06pm, 7 Dec 2012 32,200 posts	Quote Pin mxhornet I've not run there but I've been doing a bit of research and it looks like a reasonably flat parkland course with a short wooden section with a hill in it. Several vids on youtube of the Met Laegue fixture there in October, which will give you a good idea of what to expect. Link to one of them here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN-yjlvIV-8
