I did my first ever cross country race on Sunday with the running club that I'm a member of. The race was at the Queen Elizabeth Country Park and it was a beauts day which made the experience a whole lot more enjoyable. I've never done a XC run or a 'club run' before so it was all new to me. Apart from slipping up WALKING up a little hill to the start line and having someone hold me to stop falling over and crushing everyone behind me it was really good. I came 35th out of all the women so that's not too bad considering I'd never done it before. Someone said I can gain at least 5 places if I buy a pair of trail shoes and another 5 places if I start nearer the front. So, I should be 25th for the next race I do?
The club featured in the local paper too - 'Newcomer Anna Wemyss!'
