Go-KL Birmingham League Cross Country Race at Senneleys Park, Birmingham. As I mostly hate the mud and stuff associated with X Country, I was pleased to see the going good to firm. Did an awful lot of massage and stretching beforehand to get on the startline, and with a couple of ibuprofen meant the I was more or less free of pain during the race. Did not fly off at the start, but it was still around six minute miling. Was pretty crowded but made up places as the race settled down. Did not enjoy the 'water splash' that was deep and nasty. Actually mucked up a little as I thought there were three laps of the large circuit when there were two, so I was not going flat out until the last three or four minutes. The course too was twisty and I lost my bearings. Still ran strong to the end with a strong sprint finish. Came sixth placer in the team and last of the A scorers so was pleased with that.

Highland Lad 1st time at this event and only my 2nd XC. It was a hard course it was nearly all up and down hill with a water jump. Hard work but really enjoyed it.
