Southern XC this weekend. Due to England Athletics being way too fast and efficient I can't do it. I had planned on leaving Kent after the last local x country race but have ended up being kicked out at the start of this week! So i'm now registered at a club, Ealing SOuthall and Middlesex, that I don't have entry for the Southerns, Nationals or final Surrey League of the season. Hey ho. So i might do a parkrun tomorrow.
It also means that my final race as a Kent AC member saw me fall over twice in the final 800m. I was coming down the hill in the Box Hill fell race and skidded on the mud about half way down then tripped over a tree root about 5m from the line. I ended the race bleeding from the knee, thigh, elbow, hand and chest. Good times.
The BOx Hill fell race has also knocked my training this week as I have had quad DOMS. Not ideal preparation for Chichester 10k next week.
Good luck racing and training this weekend.

Sounds messy both administratively & physically! Enjoy the rest & good luck with new club.
No xc Northerns for me as club doesn't affiliate. Regardless, I've got lurgy again, felt great yesterday morning on a short slow run, today wiped out and sneezing lots.

Noooo! D'oh! Looked like a very good run from you in the last Surrey League, shame you're missing out on some big races. Will you be along for presentation night so we can see you off properly?
I'm in a sort of injury limbo, in that I'm pretty sure my left foot (PF? or similar but I've not been arsed to pay a physio to give it a name) is a lot better than it was immediately after my last XC race three weeks ago, but I've not tried it out on a run. I'm not in a hurry to race again so just want it to heal properly.
In the mean time, I've transferred my mojo to the gym and just did my first proper interval session on the Concept 2 rower in five years. Also did a 10k time-trial on it last week, 37:19, a bit off my 36:27 pb from five years ago when I was training for the British indoor champs. I think even when I'm back running I'll keep this up with a view to having a go at the champs again at the end of the year. I've been injury-proof on the rower so far in my life, touch wood...

Yeah that might complicate things, which club you moving to? Fwiw I'm having the annual thoughts of switching as the Tri Club is great but I don't do tri now and with my run focus a specific run club would offer more team event opportunities such as the road relays etc.
