BUCS XC, Plock Court, 20th (A race)
Hadn't run in a race with anywhere near this many runners before, and didn't fully appreciate just how hard it can be to move past people. Got a poor start and couldn't really start progressing until the end of the first short lap. Then got going and eventually managed to sneak into the top 20 with a sprint finish, which I'm not too disappointed with. Lesson learnt though - go really hard at the start next time.
5th team overall, whilst the B team smashed it to sneak bronze from Birmingham.
Worth noting that, despite all the mud, this was one of the most boring XC courses I've ever seen. The hairpin 400m after the start also seemed a bit silly.
