Race: Baschurch, Shrewsbury XC (North Wales cross country league, race 4)
Time/Position: 39.34 (29th from 131 [3rd V45])
Snow falling through much of Shropshire at lunchtime, although it changed to a combination of slush and sleet as we approached Walford College for round 4 of this year's cross country. Last year's fixture here, with its three-lap crossing of a thigh-deep river, had been memorable, and it seemed likely the water would be deeper and colder this year. That was indeed the case, and combined with a very muddy course, one field under water, and a wall, to make for a classic XC experience - albeit one I plodded round with a persistent mild cold. My feet and hands took an hour to thaw out.
