Gwent cross country league - Swansea

Having avoided the cross country scene since school it was time to see what had changed in 15 years. As this was only an hour drive i decided to head down to singleton park, Swansea for the 2 round of the Gwent Cross country league. A stone throw away from my student stomping ground it was a familiar sight but didn't really know singleton to be a hilly park, where did they find them. Put my Sarn helen vest on and lined up for a 2.40pm start with former BB star Glyn wise standing alongside me in his Cardiff Uni running bib, random. The course was very moist and the 3 year old solomons where in the deep end and struggling many places required cutting corners and plenty of jumping to avoid the deep stuff, great fun. Little to hasty off the star and lost a handful of places coming into the final lap. Finished 63rd and felt completely rotten. Tough going.
