Tiger Dec 2007 9:12pm, 1 Dec 2007 21 posts	Quote Pin Tiger I really enjoyed the Pirie 10 today! Real classic XC, very low key no fuss race set in lovely countryside. I was anxious about the 45 minute cut off for the first 5 miles as it had been tipping down with rain yesterday and although it was decidedly boggy in places made it through just in time. I think I need to lost a good 1 stone to look like the whippets nearer the front of the pack though!
SuzyWoo Dec 2007 3:24pm, 2 Dec 2007 35 posts	Quote Pin SuzyWoo I was no-where near the front of the pack Tiger so i didn't get to see them!!! Too quick for me!! But i agree - a fun race with fab mud! Glad the weather was better then todays though!

phal Dec 2007 4:44pm, 2 Dec 2007 489 posts	Quote Pin phal just a question - def. need to get some spikes. the innov8's were fine but lost grip where it was really muddy... how have people found the sizing's of the nike waffles... spot on/small/big compared to normal shoe size.... was going to get a pair off the web as there's some good deals about.... usually run in asics so can't use the sizing from them.... ta xx
