kiki.d Conditons were indescribable, very cold, very very wet and windy. Have only just warmed up 4 hours later. Very tough, but worth it. My best position of the year, 13th (I suspect other ladies were more sensible and stayed home) but I was there and it was worth it to be part of the winning team! Saffron Striders RC 38:00 38:20 58.48
LiamS76 wet windy muddy and cold. And the way I went though the stream got my shorts wet. Started steady and picked people off all the way - very pleased to be 12th. I was 25 seconds slower than last year, but 11 places higher. vibrams a bit slippy on the playing field near the end but ok apart from that. Well done to Striders for comprehensively winning league overall. Bishops Stortford RC, Walden Tri 30:31 60.77
Mud Rocs Proper x-country race this one with plenty of mud, rain and wind. Holcombe Harriers 31:32 63.14
PhilB66 Freezing cold, pouring with rain and windy - good traditional cross-country weather! Quite a good course too with a couple of river fordings, the second of which I fell at! Plenty of mud after the recent rain. Would be even better if some of the hard surface (road and track) sections could be eliminated. Finished 19th - significant improvement on Bishop's Stortford, but not sure how much of that was due to those who previously finished ahead of me not being there rather than me actually beating them. In better shape than for B/S, but still struggled when hit the hill before the field crossing and run in; lost 3 places in the last half mile or so. Bishops Stortford RC 31:12 63.32
Vindicator Very wet and Windy. Almost got sept away by the raging torrents that were the Harlow RC 32:46 57.31
