It's XC season again, with the first race at Heaton Park back in October. This Sunday it was race 2 at Sherdley Park. I finished in 39:31, i.e. almost 5 minutes faster than a year ago - well chuffed - still way down the field, 86th out of ~260 men :-) This year I'm using spikes instead of fell/trail shoes - this makes a huge difference in the mud! Conditions so far have been good but in two weeks time it's off to Boggart Hole which is always a quagmire. I like this picture, showing a close finish between 3 Man Tri runners. For more pics see the club pool on flickr.

Plans for 2011
Been off-line since Antwerp but certainly not off training. After pretty much taking all of August off, "winter" training started in earnest 10 weeks ago and it's been going well, with 100+ hours logged so far. Picked my A races for next season - UK70.3 at Wimbleball in June and then IM Regensburg in August. As IM is such a big commitment I decided to hook up with a coach to make sure my training is as efficient as possible - so far really enjoying the sessions. Hopefully now I will get back to posting more regular training updates.
