Walked the course today... quite scared now!! Also OT question?

So, I have intro tomorrow at Beckwithshaw, and the course is much more scary than I thought it was going to be!! Probably just me being a wimp, but it's hardly any different from the PN!

anyway, just looked at the results from today, every single horse in the Intro had time penalties and although the intro goes pretty much the same route as PN, has 40 secs less OT! surely thats not quite right??

Depends on the conditions of the ground? If its really wet and muddy then obviously people tend to go slower.

Im sure you'll be fine - dont think of the height of the fences etc. just imagine crossing the finish line!

pn do some longer turns...but i dint think that they were quite 40 secs worth of turns..at the unaff there last year only one person went inside the time for the intro style course!!!
