Hit my target in National XC champs


March 1st, 2010 by Will

I raced the National Cross Country Champs at the weekend. (struggling a bit for photos but I found a few on FB)

I rocking in 23rd.  I was pretty happy with this. it’s a pretty solid result for me in the middle of my winter training and I finished with some big names in the sport. It bodes well for my Triathlon season.

It didn’t all go smoothly though, I was a bit ill the day before which didn’t help and I didn’t feel that good while I was racing although that is probably mostly down to the tough course! There was a serious hill in each lap that you couldn’t run properly up.  I kept feeling sick at the top of that!

It was a good fun race, 1400 athletes on the start line and as usual it was really fast at the front. Would recommend anyone to enter through their club.

I only stacked it once this time which was good. In the Southerns I fell twice!

This is Andy Vernon, the eventual winner. He’s a bit of a star and still 24 years old. Doesn’t look like he is really built for XC but he’s bloody quick!


How about this for Bathroom Improvement! Ness Raws Art…
