Manchester XC League: Wythenshawe

Manchester XC League race #3: Wythenshawe Park, Saturday 3rd December

Finally a flat cross country race, and it suited me well!
Result: 21st
Excellent video of the race here, where I can be spotted at 4.26 and 8.04:

I started off enthusiastically as I was delighted to finally be running a flat firm course where my track speed would benefit me, and I just kept moving through the field after the first 1/2 a lap. I picked off 3 girls in the last 600m as I just wound up the pace throughout the last lap.

Unfortunately there was a stream crossing - which of course I fell in on both laps, finishing the race with numerous cuts and blood all down my leg!

Definitely my best run of the season to date
