I needed a response...

And I didn't get one. Well, not quite.
Today was School Cross Country and I felt good pre-race. It was a very short race, only 2 and a 1/4 miles which wouldn't suit me but I still gave it a hell of a shot. I was found wanting on the first short lap, but worked my way into 3rd, only for my hamstring to cramp up on the 2nd lap on the way up the woods, leaving me to finish 5th. It's been a hell of a long season and I think this is merely down to fatigue rather than anything. So, Pinder, Mr Edward, Sinclair, Cairns and then myself was the order of proceedings. I felt excellent up until the point of hamstring destruction and was knocking on the door for 2nd.
This brings an end to the season which has lasted about 7 months (!). I'm delighted it's over and I can now have a well earned break before coming back for the fells!
