Another good run at Lloyd Park, though it was well and truly sodden and muddy! The rain let up for us, it had been hailing 20 mins before the noon start, but the sun came out for our race!

Yes, the weather gods were kind to us there and at Denbies in January.

It was crazy wet on the course though yesterday! Lovely to see you Garfield :) I was hearing about your awesome 10k pb in the car on the way home from Magpie!

Just need some results now.

We're done with league (men stay up, women likely promoted), but have a mob match in Richmond next weekend to looks forward to some more mud before the nationals!

I know, the lack of results is killing me! Great too see you guys there yesterday! Re 10k PB, that was a surprise too, though at least that was road.

National course is virtually all parkland, graaa that will becoma mud. a few tree roots around the second hill near the Derby Road wall might cause a probem for spikes, but really should be fine.

oi you
And here we go again! Kent League kicks off in 3 weeks time, so it's time to consider a bit of training. My final track race was on Wednesday, so one set of spikes chucked into the corner of the room, and the XC spikes found & dusted off.

:) I'm probably going to miss the first of our league races. It's too close after I run the Berlin marathon next weekend.
