Larkim - The first league fixture for Div 1 has been in three venues over the years I've run it (since 2009) and each has had a ditch. They breed us tough on the Midlands ;-)

WS / Larkim - I think if it was harder it was cos pace was higher. I was 1min per big lap faster than last year, clubmate was 1.20 fpbl he said. I run those trials year round spikes weren't needed today, trail/fell shoes fine... the usual boggy section towards end of lap was simply soft at best/worst. That's 2/5 closer to road conditions than xc, we're defo due some heavy going soon I hope!

That puts my 30s overall faster into context rhb!

I was in better condition last year though.

^ sorry Larkim! We get another go later in the season, wonder if they'll mix it up or reverse the course or something.

540 is great, waited at finish for clubmates and they were queueing over the finish line at one point.

I was lower overall, but higher in my age group, which is a little odd!
