Callum Bampton Mar 2013 8:57pm, 3 Mar 2013 183 posts	Quote Pin Callum Bampton About 3 miles I think. Sky Sports 3; I'm wearing my Bucks vest - If you see me I've either set off too fast / running race of my life!

I shall give any Bucks runners a shout. And when you're done please don't try and cross by diving out in front of people from the next race

Callum Bampton Mar 2013 9:16pm, 8 Mar 2013 185 posts	Quote Pin Callum Bampton Well... tomorrow is it! The last 6 months of solid training will be condensed into a tough 15 minute effort! It will also be good to see the all the races! There's not many sports where you can be within a metre of the best... and after tomorrow I think that for many of the seniors, the xc season will be over.
