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...
