Had one or two too many beers at my work Christmas do on Friday night, so went out to try and reduce my hangover before driving to Blackburn for the Northern Cross Country Champs. It didn't really work.

Still not feeling great by the time I started, and it was quite a punishing course - hilly and soft underfoot. They had also added another hill called the 'teaspoon' since I last ran here, which added to the 'saucer' gave two tough climbs on each of the four laps. Struggled round to 160th place, which was lower than last year but actually slightly closer to the winner time wise. No more excessive beer until after London now.

The rest of the men's team just missed out on a team medal, and the women went and won it!

Before and after.
