Handy Cross X-Country Race, 9th December 2012

We have now had the provisional results from last Sunday's race at Handy Cross. More excellent performances saw our ladies' team finish 3rd and our men's team come in 9th, giving us 8th place overall. Thank you to all 21 members who came out to run, once again another sunny day and an amazing course (or "the hardest race I've ever run in" according to one of our team!). 

It's not every day that you get the chance to race on a course described as "70% uphill" by another of our runners, through a herd of cows, deep mud, and a diagonally slanting field. Probably just as well, really......

Jenny, Sabine and Chris - before the hills started

However, no cross-country Sunday would be complete without its tale of woe, and this time it was cross-country stalwart Keith Hull who suffered an injury - putting his back out as he packed his kitbag getting ready to leave the house! We wish you a speedy recovery Keith. Happily, Laura Hales had recovered from the last incident, at Sandhurst, and was our first lady home.

If you want to see how your fellow club members pushed themselves to the limit, the video is here:
