Do you believe in lcuk?

I am not a superstitious type but there are some pretty remarkable things that seem to recur. For example Milford School for many years used to put on an annual event - one thing could be guaranteed is that that day the heavens would open in stectacular style.

I'm beginning to wonder about marshes and national championships. In last year's British I had one hellof a shock disappearing in a bottomless marsh (in February brrrr!), then at the Scottish 3 months later the same thing happened again. This year a "seasonal marsh" proved to be another as I managed to turn round and claw my way back out. I was running flat out downhill and expected a green spagnum carpet to be a bit soft - instead I just went down . At least after the British experience I am very quick to fling my body forward and spread the weight, and May is not as cold as February even if the snow only cleared away in March.

Perhaps it is Karma Eddie? Maybe you have been naughty and this is your payback? I assume if you were really naughty it would have swallowed you up though
