Didn't have a mens team for the last race, doubt there would've been enough for today's race either (3 ladies to count, 4 men). Of course I suppose I could run as an individual but I just get that disheartened being so far down the field when all the guys are standing about waiting to start. I'll maybe talk myself in to going to the next one (January I think?) regardless of whether there's a team or not.
Just had to prioritise what I use my petrol on until payday - getting to work was more important that getting to a race! Anyhoo, I managed to get my long run done today too while I was playing in the mud

Running as an individual was what I was thinking (with maybe a mens team to support), I guess that would change the atmosphere a bit though.

The mens race doesn't start until after the womens race finishes, so a lot of the guys don't turn up until either just before or after the womens race has started. I'm not sure how the 'declarations' thing works; the couple of times I've run in the league XC races someone else has delat with that side of things.

For cross country leagues, there is normally no declaration, rather the team is decided on the 3, 4 or 6 eligible counters to finish for each team.

Ran the Salomon turbo x earlier in the year but next week is my first club cross country race and I'm really looking forward to it.

I think you have to declare all your clubs runners that are racing before the race start

I think that just involves the team manager handing in a list of names and collecting the numbers.
I ran my first club XC less than two years ago
