Woodhall Spa cyclocross yesterday which was a much improved 2.2 mile course resulting in me not being lapped - a first I think, although not because I'm going any faster of course.
They split the seniors off from the Vets/Ladies, the aim being to reduce the chance of being lapped, and if it happened there would be less congestion. The main improvement though was the longer lap, although that presented a different challenge in that each hazard only occurred 4 times (for me) instead of 8-12 as it usually does, which was a good and bad thing in that I had less chance to improve things and conversely less chance of things going wrong. On balance, I think the longer lap is better.
Next week if Nettleham where a long lap will be very difficult to achieve given the limited space, but hopefully they will see the advantage of that and get more market tape out.
