Snow was forecasted yet six members turned out for the Birchwood XC.
The pool was a puddle but after running round the first lap, the mud began to
appear and was definitely the sticking point on the final lap.
Finally the snow appeared whist we were having the refreshments, that was timed well!

This was a very muddy race.
We turned up and it was cold wet and windy, not much hanging around at the start.
The race hit mud within 5 seconds of starting and this set the tone for the rest of the race.
Last years water feature was one of many this year. The weather improved and we all got around safely.
It was cross country debuts for Tarja and Andy, literally thrown in at the deep end!
