Sorry Walter I cannot agree some people genuinely set there stall out for the distance. I do know the guys your on about who say they dont care about short races but canny do anything at the distance either But the guys I'm talking about wattie are guys like yerself. If u picked just distance I know for a fact u would do well just like you do or if u choose just sprint u would do the same. A real top class doo man can win from 60 mile to 600 mile just depends what takes their fancy. For instance your top top sprint racers see if they put their mind to it they could win at the distance.
