Aykley Head XC Harrier League 27th/557 (time-wise)
Started in the slow pack as it was my first in the season. Set off quite hard and ended up in 3rd the two in front faded so went to 1st for a bit then another 2 came up from behind and ran away. Then going up the bitch of a hill at the end of the first lap Pete Bray came past and another Gateshead Harrier. Sat in 5th for the last two laps although started to fade and drop back towards 6th on the last lap. Pretty pleased with the result though apart from Bray being 1:20 ahead of me in the end. Beat a lot of other people I wanted to beat and moving up to the medium pack from the next one I'm going to do
