Saturday marks my cross country debut of the 2008 - 09 season, though having run one of long classics in Scottish fell racing calendar last weekend it'll seem pretty easy going apart from the pace. With any luck I'll finish further away from the tail end too.

Great to be back in the XC season. Looking forward to the Scottish National this weekend at Cumbernauld which is a great course.

Officially 35 but some races don't recognise it even for females who've always been 35 !!

Most races over here in N.Ireland seem to offer them, it must be down to who ever organises them
