Course was designed by one of my clubmates who works in the Midland Athletics Office, several water crossings per 5K....
Alun Oct 2015 12:45pm, 12 Oct 2015 146 posts	Quote Pin Alun Also completed the Kent League race on Saturday, closed the 12 to score team in 171st place. Hopefully I'll be a bit fitter and do a little better in two weeks, although Somerhill Scholl is b@stard hilly!
oi you Oct 2015 6:51pm, 12 Oct 2015 300 posts	Quote Pin oi you I quite like the Somerhill course, Alun. Not that you'd guess that while I'm actually running it, but afterwards, when I've got cake & coffee in my hand, I'll be quite happy with it. Saturday was, l I think, the first time we've ever mustered a 12 to score team, and fortunately they weren't relying on me.

Our A team came 7th which was good when lacking most of our stars. However, no hills and no mud. I wore spikes out of principal but road shoes would have been fine boo hiss and bring on the proper courses in a few weeks.
