Birmingham XC league at Abington park. Think this was the driest it has been when I have raced this course. Never done 4 laps here before as only raced here for the schools, it felt a long way. Legs seemed a little tired from the start and I think I should have been a bit quicker. Feeling a little rough for some of the race and I felt like I should have been running faster but could't motivate myself until Rob appeared on my shoulder and I was not going to let him pass me. Ended up as the second counter for the club, a little way down on our first counter Jacob who went and won the race, some pretty large improvement after 3 months at St Mary's.

A rather hurried and short warm down with Jacob and Rob as had to catch a train. Rob and Jacob are back from Uni in a week or two so might be doing some different with them over the Christmas period.
