I've avoided this topic so far but now it has taken an interesting turn.

One of the problems with posting on forums is that the tone of voice in a written opinion is lost. It is very easy to take something the wrong way.
Believe me I know. making use of the little emoticions can help but in truth the best way is to speak to people face to face.

Can I reccomed to all that Skype is a great way of actually talking to someone. It's free and you can even see the person your talking to if you have a camera.

I'm sure crazy blanket will agree that I'm not the ogre he thought I was before he actually spoke to me :wink:

As for course length.....it is a disappointment that the course is getting shorter that means less fun in my mind. Interestingly racing must be the only sport in which the better you do at it the less time you actually get doing it. :shock:
For me it's the time taken for a lap that is important not the speed.
My personal target is to break 21 minutes on my 600 and 22.38 on the 400. Those figures are burned into my memory. Maybe the changes will help
