I'm racing at Gateshead in the North Eastern cross country league this weekend. I love those cross countries, cold and muddy

What's everyone else up to?

Bushy Park 5k time trial Saturday.
24k long run Sunday - Thames path to Walton Bridge, over the bridge, back through Shepperton, Lower Sunbury, Hampton, half-way round Bushy Park, pass Hampton Court, over Hampton Court Bridge, turn right, get into bath, bliss...

Meeting up with some club mates at 7am tomorrow. Going for a hilly/muddy 11-12 miles then maybe add on an extra 5-6 miles if I feel OK.

Was supposed to be doing a fell race on Sunday, but poor organisation (on my part, I thought the fell race was going to be on Saturday) means that I told my gf that she was free to enter a 10k and I'd look after the little dude. So I'll be up in Dewsbury watching the 10k on Sunday morning, and missing the race I'd entered (I race often, she races infrequently so it's only fair!!).

I was thinking about doing that one but it clashed with a local race. I think its the Yorkshire 10k championships isn't it? Should be a good event.

I'm not sure if it's the yorkshire champs. I did it last year and it's a very flat, fast out and back along the same road, not hugely inspiring, but quick!! Usually has some very useful competitors.

What local race are you doing instead? Mine was supposed to be Charnwood Hills, sort of a mix between fell/XC over 12.5 miles.

I'm doing the XC at Gateshead as well. Must clean my spikes tonight

I'm a fell shoe wearer for XC's, mine got a good cleaning at Tough Guy last weekend!!

19 miles along bournemouth sea front

Getting very drunk and also 2-3 hour bike Sat am, optional 45 min swim pm. Sun - 2 -2.5 hour bike straight into 5 mile off-road league race.

I shall then eat lots of pies.
