One day I'd like to race in either these outdoor or indoor Champs.

The indoor has the benefit of a Cross Country Race and a Half Marathon Championship !!!
Sacremeto sounds really nice other than the fact that I will be 49.9 years old when they take place!!! : (

Paul Osland was one one of the stars the Lahti World Champs in Finland last year (Spectacular fall across the line for Silver in M45 1500m.
Slightly surprised to see him beaten on home turf over 800m
