Shuttleworth XCL

Squirrels at top of tree again!

Another dominant performance from both the gents and the ladies saw us romp to overall victory in race 2. to follow up the same outcome in race 1. After 2 races we now top both the Men's and Overall tables and are 2nd in the Ladies' table. Full details can be found here.

Here is yours truly, clearly in a confused trance, wondering why there are so many steep hills and no tarmac.

I thought I ran a much better race than at Wellingborough (51st) and was convinced this would be rewarded with a much higher placing this time, so 49th was a bit deflating. However, some statistical digging improved my mood (a bit). Firsly, there were 314 chaps running vs only 277 last time. Secondly, of those runners who finished near me last time (and who also took part in race 2.) I finshed ahead of 5 and behind only 1 of them. So there you go, a significant improvment after all!

Training is still going well and I think a 'step-change' performance is overdue. Watch this space!
