The last meeting of the season and a very picturesque course as there was
plenty of snow on the ground, having made its way up to Watford a week later
than London. There was a sheet of ice on the small bridge crossing the river,
making this part of the course particularly hazardous, although there were St
John's Ambulance in attendant in case of a nasty accident. After the race it
was a short drive to the local pub and the now traditional end of season meal
to cap a fine season. As for the race, regulars Ian and Derek finished 1 and 2
for ELR while Jan moved up the field to register his best run for the club so
far.

Ths is a very difficult three lap course run in Gloucester Park, Basildon over
7.5 miles. The conditions were below zero and these were three very good times
in the Essex cross country championships, where the standard is very high.
Simon Morgan was running for Tiptree Road Runners.

Grovelands Park was a muddy affair following plenty of
rain the day before. The course was changed slightly from last year to prevent
any lapping in the enclosed forest section, so consisting of 2 small laps in
the open park and 1 lap in the forest. The men fielded a complete team with a
few people missing meaning that even the backmarkers were needed to score. The
finishing order stayed pretty much the same as previous races with Clive taking
part in his 1st fixture this year helping us to a full team. The ladies were
again short of a full team but Ann making her debut on the cross country scene
for us and Carol both struggled through the quagmire to finish. The next race
will be on January 4th at the hills of Royston right after the new year. More
details to follow shortly.

267 finishers in the combined race, 181 finishers in the individual
race.
Men: Team 11th of 15.
Masters 13th of 15
Women: 86
finishers.
The Chairman failed to return, so you can ignore the blurb
above. A new start for Digswell as work on the field where the race usually
starts meant the race was started nearer Tewin. The rain came down, not heavy
but a steady drizzle making it muddy underfoot and of course there was
always "Heartbreak Hill" to contend with. But we had a good team out as 10 men
battled to be the 8 scorers and Kirsty was there as the only lady present.
Great runs from Ian & Derek again and first time runs from Alex & Steve on
their first league outings.

The first race of the
season got off to a very good start. The men fielded a team of 9 and at the
same time it was great to see the women club members starting to put a team
together. This being thanks to Kirsty volunteering to captain for the womens
team. So ladies, no excuses of not having a captain this year!! The day started
with rain which persisted to the start of the race, during and after. The
conditions underfoot were good despite the rain, apart from the last lap when
some areas were starting to get a little bit muddy. Hope to see you at the next
event!!
