I ran my first ever cross country race yesterday and it was amazing!
Five 1km loops around a course in the wind and pouring rain, temperature was 5 degrees. Every lap I was changing my lines trying to find a bit of hard-ish ground so my feet wouldn’t sink into the mud. Ended up finishing in a time of 20:21, which is almost 2 minutes off my 5k PB but I feel like I had to work harder for this.
