Off-road running race 33:12 [5] 5.0 mi (6:38 / mi) +83m 6:19 / mi
shoes: Integrator

Ely Runners XC Champs - 1st. A very pleasing run - first race since last summer n first cross-country since the Southerns a year ago. Led from start n felt very relaxed; had a couple of metres on Ian by end of first lap n then gradually extended to win by about 35 seconds. As expected was a perfect XC course - hilly, muddy with some real twists n turns throughout - in good wintry conditions - 6c and slight drizzle.
