Another disappointing turnout in terms of numbers but excellent runs by our three regulars this year. Again no u11s.
Hannah was first, u13Gs. Hannah looked tired from the start. Although she worked hard throughout "I just felt tired". She had done 2.5km on a tread mill the day before and knowing Hannah probably pushed herself very hard! So the run wasn't her best. With a final position of 27th it was a good training run and has demonstrated to her that rest is needed before a race!
Next was Kevin, u13B. Kevin was 'firing on all cylinders' and about a third of the way round was comfortably in 6th place. After some steep hills, drops and sharp bends he still was holding his position behind a couple of Bury AC athletes. About a mile to go having left all the hills behind he passed the two runners. By the time the finishing line was in sight he was well ahead of any rival. 4th a terrific position.
James, u15Bs was our final runner. James was running smoothly and looked relaxed. His position at halfway was however down on previous matches and he lost more places through the second half. He also finished in 27th and again the culprit was a bit of a cold and a school XC race earlier in the week!
The final league position is based upon the athletes best 4 results.
