Back to racing again after a couple of weeks of limited and tentative training aided by the use of my old cycling pants as DIY compression shorts . Theycertainly seem to be providing the necessary level of support for the hamstrings and am not really aware of the chamois leather gusset (might be more of a problem come warmer weather though). Kent Vets Cross Country and yet another quality mudfest at Rosehill School,Tunbridge Wells – despite some seriously dodgy downhill sections no reaction in hamstring injury area, largely due I believe to the aforementioned cyclo- shorts.  Roll on the next KFL meet at Meopham.
