Didn't seem to affext you too much twopies? I can't say I enjoyed it RichyC, but it's proper Cross Country. Without the wind, that would have been fun ;-). Did anyone else fall down the huge hole in the middle of the course?
Oct 2008 1:03am, 26 Oct 2008 5 posts	Quote Pin I didn't enjoyed my run, however it is the first "proper" cross country race i've ran in about 4 years. Without the wind & heavy rain it would have been fun. One of my clubmates fell down the hole (either knee-deep or ankle deep), can't remember exactly was he said, but he said it with a wry smile. This particular course in Cumbernauld Park is hard to judge what pace/time your going to run in, the weather (wind & amount of rain) is the biggest factor. Out of the 5 times i've ran this exact course (my course best is 15:55, my course worst is 18:44). Thats a difference of 2:49!, that is considerable over a distance of 4K. My times on this course are:- 2002: 18:44 2003: 15:55 2005: 16:11 2006: 17:37 2008: 18:16
