Should the Harriers be satisfied?

Now that the dust has settled on the weekend's races,  should Westbury be happy with what their senior men and women achieved at the weekend? Having seen B&Ws take on events:

It really got me thinking about whether the club is right to be happy with what it has achieved? I mean what if Matt Ellis didn't go out with Robyn Golding and hadn't caught a cold off her two days before the event? What if Gregg Ward had started his marathon training in July instead of January? What if Anthony Glover didn't have 3 children and a full time job and was able to train all the time? What if John Terry did have a full time job and was unable to knacker himself out on a training camp in Lanzarote in the week before the race? What if Rich Collinson had had his lunch 3 hours before the race instead of 2? What if Colin Johnson was 15 years younger? What if Dan Studley and Will Massey were 3 years older? And what about those that didn't run? What if John Collier had decided to train to be a dustman in Bristol, rather than train to be a doctor in Southampton? What if Sam Dalgleish didn't hurt his ankle every time he set sight on a blade of grass? What if Simon Everington didn't have child-care issues on a Saturday?

You know what - it probably would've made bugger all difference - as we finished 335 points behind 4th place, so maybe we should just be happy...
