chrisity Oct 2010 6:28pm, 9 Oct 2010 9,909 posts	chrisity the same vest as my picture, but the contents are a bit older. if you are at Wollaton i'll look out for you, that's a better course. I think today's isn't really XC. but it's quite a pleasant place to run.

SPR™ Oct 2010 6:36pm, 9 Oct 2010 12,237 posts	SPR™ Chrisity - don't worry, I have no intention of falling over ;-). Looking forward to it so shoes will only be turning brown during the event ;-). Happy its three weeks away though, couple more runs around the 10 mile mark can be done.

SPR™ Nov 2010 8:14pm, 1 Nov 2010 12,515 posts	SPR™ First league race of the season last Saturday (30th) @ Leamington, beacon hill was a killer and we went up it three time, and a bit too much exuberance first time round meant I fried my quads (almost to the point of cramp) which took the next half a lap to recover AKA losing places, lol. I was ok the next two times round though, good practice for the Midlands Champs at the end of January. Quads are still sore today. For anyone that did the race (and anyone that would just like to look), below are links to the set of pics my club's photographer took at the race: Womens: flickr.com Mens: flickr.com
