On Saturday 9th March, myself and fellow Bat, Simon Hodgkinson represented Staffordshire at the British Inter-Counties Championships at Prestwold Hall, Loughborough after qualifying at the Staffs XC Championships at Stafford Common back in January.

A very windy day and both the senior and men’s races were a gruelling 6.6 miles!

A proud and enjoyable day for us both. (It was also great to see a familiar face in Mark Churton as I approached the finish!)

Hope everyone has a great spring/summer training and racing and please come and run in the XC over the winter. Yes it’s muddy and cold but it’s bloody goood fun too!
