Well done Callum - and great to get into the intercounties team too! What sort of distance do you run for that one?

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! :P

Nice one CB

We are marshalling at the Inter counties next Sat, usually on the horrendous crossing point near the finish that everyone tries to use to get back to the tented area. 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 :-p :)

If anyone is missing their XC get yourself down to either Cambridge or especially Wimpole Hall (Royston) Park runs there is tailor made courses for you ;-)

We have a hill at Wimpole. You'll love it.

When I say "love" I mean you'll hate my guts so much I'll have to blame ChrisHurk again for designing the course.

Meh how bad can it be :-p

Feel free to remind me of that when I'm throwing up at the end of my first visit! :)

I walked it both times but I did have man flu.

It's not quite Leek Nat but a smaller version of that

Great running Callum. I'll give those parkruns a miss, thanks!! Either way, they're a bit far afield for me.

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.
