oi you Feb 2018 3:43pm, 28 Feb 2018 407 posts	oi you I know what you mean about the love-hate feeling. I was really keen to run it, and even now I'm pleased I did, but I really didn't have a good run. I was close to tears at the end. i had a whole menagerie of aches and pains, old and new, and I just felt drained by it. I may need to rethink running the Championship distance races. Or re-think my training, I suppose.

larkim Oct 2018 12:32pm, 2 Oct 2018 5,687 posts	larkim Week on Saturday for my second xc season start. I see the UKA cross challenge races have equalised male and female distances for seniors at 10k. I know what I think but also know it's a seemingly divisive issue. Interesting that UKA avoided status quo.
