Thats the one

There was also a Bekele in the ladies race !!

The magazine claimed it was the best / fastest field ever assembled and seemd to be hinting at a world record attempt.

Steph Twell has just finished 23rd in the world xc, Faye Fullerton was 33rd and Freya Murray 37th. The team were 6th. Not to shabby to be honest.

Interesting turnaround by Twell who was well beaten by Murray in the UK champs..wonder if Murray took too much out of herself
