Race: Oswestry XC (North Wales Cross Country League, race 5)
Time/Position: 40.50 (31st from 141 [3rd V45])
The first time I have ever completed a full season in the cross country league. All three previous races this season had been pedestrian and this was no exception: indeed, I struggled even more than usual on this route, which takes two big laps of a long and challenging course from the Marches School in Oswestry, with two sharp climbs and a couple of boggy sections. A headwind in places didn't help matters, with lots of changes of pace of the kind I always find hard to handle! All good fun, though, and satisfying to complete the season after well over 10 years of just doing one or two league races. I ended up 3rd V45 overall, with Buckley third team and second veterans team.
