Oxon XC Round 2 - Culham

Much better weather than for Round 1 so we were able to leave the tent at home! Despite heavy overnight showers the morning of the race itself was bright and sunny, although there was a bit too much wind (and mud) for ideal running conditions.



[Mud, glorious mud!]

The course had been tamed a bit compared to previous years so there were only 4 hills for the women and 6 for the men and although the heavy ground made for heavy going everyone enojoyed the race.

Women's race

60 Liz Thompson OUP S 35.48

I'll post the women's team standing once Lizzie's 69th place has been confirmed.







[Whilst a sprint finish is obviously a good thing it does make it hard to get a decent photo!]

[See, we're all still smiling. It must have been fun!]

A big thank you to everyone who turned out to run and to John for driving and taking the photos!
