A very low key start to the cross country season for North/West London clubs. One of the oldest relays around (something like its 68th year) saw a only handful of mens and womens teams compete in 6 X 2.4 mile relay event.
I was on the second leg for the A team setting off in 8th position. Managed to take over a few runners including Shaftsbury & Barnet, Highgate and Heathside. Got the team up to 4th after a pretty good run. Felt quite easy - struggled a bit up the inclines - so will have to do some hill work over the next few weeks - work and achilles permitting!! Fastest time for the team and beat usual suspects from other clubs. Racing for between 12-20 mins seems to be my forte. Must keep leg speed up but would also like to compete at sharp end over the 5mile/8k cross-countries this season.
Results can be found on the Ealing Web Site
