Farringdon XC Relays BRC XC Comp
Race 1)
[Sat
13th Sep]
The
2014\2015 cross country season got off to a flying start on Saturday 13th
September at Farringdon, Sunderland. This was also the first counting event of
BRC’s new cross country competition. Unlike the conditions you’d normally
expect for a cross country race, Saturday’s weather was hot and sunny and the
ground conditions were firm. The course was in top condition with well mown
paths, plus many twists and turns and undulations and a tricky water filled
ditch to negotiate.
There
was a good turn-out in the junior ranks, with the highlight from the junior
races being Josh Fiddaman who won the U13 race. The
senior numbers were boosted by the return of Jake Jansen from his exploits in
America plus Sam Dodd who completed his first XC race.
The
senior males run the 1.8 mile course as a 4 man relay and the ladies run the
same course as a single race. For the XC competition, the fastest leg time will
receive max points with the points award descending down to the final BRC
finisher. All finishers will also receive the obligatory 3 points for making
the effort to turn up.
