Herts County XC Championships

​The Hertfordshire County Cross Country Championship took place at Verulanium Park, St Albans on Sunday. The recent weather meant that the course was changed to avoid damage to sensitive parts of the park. The new course was described as “tough with very few flat sections and over 750 ft of elevation - it was either up or down and all on either tough grass or pure mud. The whole course was very strength sapping. The temperature was cold with a bit of wind - but at least it wasn’t raining!”

Lindsay Cook was the only female squirrel competing. The men had a scoring team of 6 and a total of 7 participants. Tom Webb was 5th overall. The rest of the scoring team was Nathan, Matt, Shahab, Mike and Ian finishing 28th, 39th, 50th, 59th and 68th respectively.

Lindsay and Barbara Sayers were on the course providing well needed cheers.

Runners praised the organisers commenting “It was a really good event and credit to the organisers for persisting to keep the event on in challenging circumstances after concerns from the land owners.”
Full list of finishers are as below;

83rd, Lindsay Cook

5th, Tom Webb
28th, Nathan Pask
39th, Matt Sayers
50th, Shahab Ahmad
59th, Mike Bannister
68th, Ian Datlen
94th, John Auld
