Congratulations to everyone who managed to get out racing despite Storm Darragh’s best efforts to dampen our running enthusiasm…
DB Max Christmas Chilly 10k
Sarah Page 52.38.4
Elaine Chapman 52:52.5
Linda Edwards 55:54.5
Jade Beaumont 58:12.9
Jade : A very windy one and definitely lived up to its ‘chilly’ name!
Sarah : Not called Chilly 10 k for nothing but would have been better called chilly and windy today. Luckily it stayed dry which counts as a bonus! Well organised race and lovely flashing 🏅 Was chuffed to get 1st place in age category
Gloucestershire Cross Country League – Bath
Nia Glover: 28:41
Sharon Smith: 33:53 1st LV70
Nia: This was the third Gloucestershire Cross Country League race of the season, hosted at the University of Bath. It was also the Inter-Counties Championship (whatever that is!). Storm Darragh made for tough conditions, thankfully it stayed dry but gusty winds and strong headwinds on the uphill sections were a bit mean!
For women the course consisted of a “short” two laps followed by one longer lap which added in an extra hill over slightly rougher terrain. Generally the course had long downhills and long uphills and we were lucky the footing was mostly dry. Beforehand we weren’t particularly keen to run in the storm today but in the end we both agreed we were glad we did it!
