Grass run warm up/down (Warm up ) 21:15 [2] 4.52 km (4:42 / km) +26m 4:34 / km
shoes: Adidas XCS Black
Jog round the first medium lap, flat course with some small undulations, nice under foot for the first km then thick shin deep mud. Some drills and strides along side the start. Felt pretty good. Plenty of familiar faces, very nice to see everyone.

Grass session (Northern XC CampHill) 44:26 [5] 12.38 km (3:35 / km) +100m 3:27 / km
shoes: Adidas XCS Black
23rd, first Salford runner and we got 2nd team!
Set off reasonably comfortably but in hindsight potentially a bit quick, the lead pack was pretty big and quite bunched so I thought I was in for quite a good ride just sitting off the back but I fell off it after a fair bit of mud slogging. I was in 15th at the end of the first lap and then I felt like I bonked a little bit in the middle and slipped a few places but I was able to rally a little bit for the last lap and hold on. Finished first Salford runner just a few seconds ahead of Cal Rowlinson and we got 2nd team so very much worth doing! Finishing kick might need a bit of work!
So tough to keep going at points I was flat out running 4 min km pace in the thick mud.
Thought I was fairly comfortable at the start but it was a 3’03” km so probably a bit quick. Good that I was able to not blow up to badly and hold onto it.
Had a good day and always nice to get a bit of silverware!
