Most high profile XC events are ranon golf course like courses. This one did have a few undulations, but no, not hills.

Herrington Park's got a few hills. It's one of the better courses round here. I measured it at just under 400 foot of ascent over 5 miles last time I ran there, so not masiively hilly but a few undulations to keep people on their toes!

My second XC outing today at Denbies...very hilly but thankfully less mud than at Lloyd Park at the beginning of January. I didn't come in last this time!

Last XC of the season today, I was outsprinted at the end by a teammate at the end. I did work hard to close the gap but still hate being outsprinted. Usually I'm the one doing the outsprinting.

Have a bit of a cold so took the first two laps easy then worked hard on the last lap. Overall was a decent race, apart from the finish.

Well done Garfield!

NE Harrier League today. Great race. Improved on this course by nearly 2 mins & moving towards the top half of the pack, so really happy with that!
And ... boo to being outsprinted by your teammate SPR! :-(

Thanks Lisa! Well done to you too.:). My lungs were also getting over a cold and got a new max HR of 189 on one of the uphills!
