Running 10:00 [1]
jogging about at the start, nowhere near enough!
11 AM
Race race (Handsworth XC) 37:08 [5] 5.3 mi (7:00 / mi) +133m 6:30 / mi
3rd counter of the Inter-Club XC.
I knew Ben Harris (Retford) was in attendance as he popped out of the blue at the last min but other than that there were no big names (although at the start line a few bonies started talking about 17min parkrun times...)
Tucked on to Ben's shoulder down the fields to the start of the laps and once a Handsworth lad had been reeled in from a flying start we settled in on the first lap and I started losing metres on the first inclie where my shoes just couldn't grip the mud! - Fell shoes would've been a good shout if I had any... I kept Harris in sight for pretty much most of the first lap then started to go backwards.
Only ever saw the next Retford guy who was behind me at the sharp river crossing where you almost double back on yourself. Put the foot down on the final down hill in the valley then just struggled away on the up hill. I didn't look over my shoulder until I was out of the final field and running down the drive track ready to approach the short uphill to this finish funnel but the Retford guy was out of sight plus I don't think my sprint finish would've been that good.
Finished 2nd, 2min+ down on first.
