Rach E Nov 2008 6:40am, 3 Nov 2008 2,998 posts	Quote Pin Rach E Yes. It was a horse cross country course, complete with water jump. Here's a shot of the jump in the lads' race: flickr.com

HappyG(rrr) Nov 2008 11:16am, 3 Nov 2008 1,803 posts	Quote Pin HappyG(rrr) I've just wasted some time (what else is work for?!) looking at results for last year's and this year's Lasswade Open that I did yesterday. Gobi and bigmunnki - it bears out what you said, I think. I was a bit disappointed to be 30s slower than last year. But the winner this year was 1min12s slower than last year! And in fact, for all the names I can see that match, their times are between 1 and 3 mins slower than last year. So I'm assuming that I've done a "virtual PB" (now, how do I record that in Fetch?!)
