Scottish East District XC Champs at Cupar in Fife for me. If conditions stay as they are just now I'm taking a sledge!

Stirling last year was horizontal sleet and broxburn was -1C. I predict a sunny -4C and smiles all round! :-)G

Anyway, at your speed don't you just sort of float between the snowflakes?! And surely that amount of speedness means your core is operating about about 114F anyway?! :-)G

SarahL, Just seen your question re. spikes. I change mine according to the course. This Sunday I'll probably put my 15mm spikes in as the course is akin to running on quicksand, but at the Berks champs in January - which is on Newbury racecourse(!) - I'll only need to have the 6mm spikes in.

I sometimes put longer ones in the front of the shoe and shorter ones at the back if I need added grip but don't want to be completely laden down.

I find 9mm is a good "default" spike to leave in.
