we're only taking a small team because of the cost of travelling and so have only taken enough people to make full relay teams. It's only two to count anyway so basically all the girls have to finish

[Jo]

Why, do your squad pay for travel?

[helen]

its partly subsidised, but we have to pay some. i think its also because we'd hav to hire 2 minibuses etc. we'll take a full team again next year tho
