Snap! Did my warm-up in Invov8's, toyed with the idea of spikes but decided to look after my feet and left the trail shoes on. Ugh! Almost immediately they were failing to shed mud and it was bambi-on-ice most of the way round. Long distance should be my thing but ended up being beaten by a few club mates I'd normally beat, who were a little more sure on their feet. 159th overall, 11th scorer. (I think we were 2nd club in 12-to-score?) All good training effect, I suppose.
I was delighted for John Gilbert, my club mate who has put in some excellent XC performances over the years, who won yesterday. Definitely his kind of course, he's an animal. Brilliant run from the front!
10 slow miles on grass this morning was more than enough after that. Cracking on again this week.

So I did a warm up, and decided to wear my very worn Inov-8s because it was rock hard in the woods and outside the woods was solid. Fast forward 30 minutes of torrential rain and it was coated in thick mud and I had no grip anywhere. Just filthy everywhere.
