Well done to our super cross-country team once again!
A great turnout at Tadley of 25 runners saw us take fifth place again, and strengthen our grip on fourth spot in the league (out of 15).
Our accident-prone quartet from earlier races all came back strongly here, with Laura (cut knee, Sandhurst) leading the ladies home, and Dario (broken finger, Ruislip) doing the same for the men. Keith (wrenched back, Handy Cross) and Lorayne (ill, Bearwood) both scored highly. And we are not aware of any new mishaps this time out, happily.
The ladies team came second, narrowly squeezed out this time by Thames Valley Triathletes, after our two race victories in December. The men came fifth, equalling their season's best, and that gave us overall fifth place.
The sun came out as it has done all season, enabling the runners to see the deep mud on the course that much better!
Here is a video of the race, which has a less picturesque start/finish than many of the others.

So now it's on to the final race in Lightwater on Sunday, with the forecast of snow on the ground and possibly also in the air!
