Cross Country

The Cross Country season is starting again in a couple of weeks time. Unfortunately the above picture is what springs to most peoples mind when they think of cross country. However some of the Tuesday and Thursday sessions are tougher and longer then some of the cross country races, and even though difficult some of the girls got medals last year in their first cross country season. The more people that do races the better the training sessions are during the week and the better the teams score is in the race as it pushes other team runners further back the scoring. Also last year in some of the races we only had the minimum numbers so if anyone got injured or had to pull out the team didn't register. There is cross country training on Saturdays (Ask Emily) but if you can do the Tuesday and Thursday sessions without collapsing you can do the races. Below is the list of the first few races of the season. You could be a natural cross country runner without even knowing it.
