Race: Baschurch, Shrewsbury XC (North Wales Cross Country league, race 4)
Time/Position: 35.41 (30th from 141 [3rd V45])
An amusing river crossing had been incorporated into this new circuit, the fourth and penultimate race of the season. It attracted a couple of dozen spectators and led to some fun and games as we plunged in to its icy, thigh deep murk. A steady climb followed immediately: hard work indeed to sustain any kind of pace after the soaking in the river. It all made for an excellent, though challenging cross-country race: classic stuff. I felt the need for spikes as it was very muddy underfoot, slippery and insecure in many places.
