I was cross-country racing at the Snape Wood Cross Country in East Essex this past weekend. I was racing for HY runners, and I'm pleased to say I came in first place with just over a minute's lead on the inform Matt Grindrod racing for Brighton & Hove.
The race conditions were extremely difficult, with a very hilly course and a lot of mud. Despite falling over twice, I felt strong and pleased with my performance.
I always enjoy pushing myself to the limit; this race was no exception.
This Saturday, I will be racing again at Stanmer Park, Brighton. It is part of the Sussex Cross Country League, a series of four races organised by the county, occurring annually between October and February at different venues across Sussex. I'm looking forward to competing against some of the best runners in the region and being a part of such an exciting event.
I'm determined to continue my winning streak and put in my best effort for the upcoming races. Cross-country running is a tough sport, but it is also incredibly rewarding. I love the feeling of accomplishment after a race and the satisfaction of knowing I gave it my all. Thank you for reading, and I hope to see you all at the upcoming races!
Best David
