Autumnleaves Nov 2015 2:00pm, 1 Nov 2015 7,228 posts	Quote Pin Autumnleaves First race done - I ran out of steam a bit (gave blood on Monday and I think that was why), still 3 minutes faster than on the same course last year so I have improved
ndellar Nov 2015 3:20pm, 1 Nov 2015 3,157 posts	Quote Pin ndellar Nice AL, 3 mins is massive! Had a look at that link and some of sLicksters photos and it looks like the same venue as I remember at Mansfield. Nice venue. I'm aware I can't run 2 county champs in the same year, does anyone residing in East Angular have experience of running at St Neots Priory Park? Was thinking of entering the Cambridgeshire Champs 2016 for a laugh as I am eligible by birth and it would be somewhere different I've never run.

Autumnleaves Nov 2015 3:49pm, 1 Nov 2015 7,232 posts	Quote Pin Autumnleaves Our league races are the same length - and run together
Curly45 Nov 2015 4:26pm, 1 Nov 2015 2,892 posts	Quote Pin Curly45 Ours would be too big together but I do think they should be the same length...
Reinhold Messner Nov 2015 4:52pm, 1 Nov 2015 727 posts	Quote Pin Reinhold Messner Can't have the races at the same time because the women need to get back to the school hall to switch the tea urn on for when the men finish. But distance wise yes there's no reason for them not to be the same.
