Ally2 10th in county, 45th in mids so top 200 in the nationals? 156th to be exact. The course was tough with a mud bath of a section for first mile of lap 1 and 2. plenty of climbs where I could make places up.  Fantastice race where with huge numbers you may lose a place but then gain one as someone blows. Got a few Leics scalps taking williams in final 400m. got outsprinted by few guys down the hill towards the end but satisfied to sprint past a halesowen man at the line! Superb day.

Muds This is the classic CC course! Yep right in the middle of London. There is nothing like the start of the National.  Great run. Not muddy enough for me! Beat a few guys that beat me on shorter less demanding terrain. Would have nmade top half if I hadn't fallen over! 732/1455. Nice run Ally! 156 a room to run. Watford Joggers 49:06 53:08 67.81
