Weather: Cold, clear

Comments:
Parked at Digswell and ran the mile or so to Tewin and back. Very glad that I had taken the time to put spikes in last night, I had guessed that the conditions would be muddy enough for spikes, but this course doesn't really take a long spike so I went for 9s. Nice morning for a cross country run, bright and clear and beautiful. Really cold though. I was a bit nervous about my shoe choice, but this turned out to be correct, the only real difficulty was with the stony paths on the lead in to the proper course, and the descent which is always an annoyance. Anyway it was great to be running properly when other people were slipping off the path on the mud at the edge of the field, the mud was soft enough to take a spike, and had thawed out completely by the second lap, so that even the 9s were not enough in some parts. I was 4th by the end, quite a way behind Dave Morgan and Peter Williams, both of whom I was beating earlier in the season but they were both injured I think, and I was just behind Steve Harrison, and nearly sprinted past him at the end, only because he stopped before the line, so I think he's injured now.
