Ally2 156th in 2009, 126th in 2010. Have to aim for top 100 and to tame the wicked hill on the alton towers course. brutal and muddy. course shortened due to injuries in other races to 10k- if 10k i have just run my slowest race pace for 3 years and still come in top 100 i think. made places up on all 3 laps and for once didn't get overtaken on home finish holding off a wgel runner. nearly twisted ankle with 1 mile to go but ok. feels sore now. yeah came 100th!

Jimrunner Extremely muddy and challenging course. Didn't run particularly well today and had been feeling a bit below par and tired during the week. Enjoyed the experience but definitely need some more focused off-road training for XC in the future. Macclesfield Harriers & AC 33:46 33:46 47:40 59.32
The Husky absolute mud bath started at the back probably cost me 2 or 3 mins but great fun passing tired runners felt strong great work out. Shorter course today reduced to 10k. Centurion RC 34:19 35:42 48:35 56.39

Wally The muddiest race ever in the history of the world. Ever. Maybe. Pleased to finish higher than in previous nationals (although still to get in the top half!). The worse the conditions, the better I do :-) Stourbridge RC 37:32 39:17 51:24 51.66
