RFJ RACE REPORT - Hants XC Lge at Farley Mount Weather was hot and breezy, felt strange to be doing XC, did a 1 lap 3K warm up to assess shoe wear - definatley not spikes... On the start line and saw our U17 guy win his race with a massive lead of about 250m. Then for the off, 3 laps of 3k, started off as normal near the back of a very big and talented bunch about 300-350. Struggled up the first hill and was down on some team members, by half way round the first lap I had got past the two lads that I wanted to get past from our club, the others were all gone, well gone. The second lap saw me consolidate my place with out being overtaken and now pulled away from those behind me, whilst picking off a few as well. The 3rd lap was hard and now a bit lonely with 3 Overton runners in front, got one on the hill, but the other two were well ahead 25m and 50m respectively. Managed to catch a few guys that set of too fast. got to the final 300m and still down by 20m so decided to settle in, until got support from the club so lifted up the pace and got the overton guy on the line. Finished well down in a high field in 216 in a time of 39:52 for 9K. Really happy with the time. then did another lap as a warm down. Total for the day 15K. Swindon Striders 35:55 39:52 60.90
