Well done though :-)

Anyone else at Inter-counties?

2 weeks of some solid training before Wiltshire schools in my bid to qualify for the English schools finals at Manchester. (my main aim of the season) at a junior level it's a stronger standard than inter-counties.

I think I've just missed out on Inter counties this year, there are a lot of good, keen XC runners in my county and I only finished 18th in the county championship - and knowing the ladies who finished in front of me there are none likely to turn down a place. I managed to get in last year as our county champs were cancelled and i had run well enough in the league to get chosen. It was fun last year but I got a bit over-excited when the camera was on our pen at the start - as Steph Twell was in my county team!

Quick question for spike wearers. In last two x-countries i have noticed a 50/50 split of runners, mainly front runners, wearing no socks and some wearing socks with their spikes.

What is everyones opinion?

Are you sure there not wearing ankle socks you can't see?

I know I would never wear spikes without socks...
