The FNB XC Series starts in the sun...

It's too much to expect every race of a Winter Cross Country series to be run in glorious sunny weather so I made the best of those pleasant conditions at race one of the 2021 FNB XC Series.

This race at L'Ancresse was over the Stonecrusher Course which offers true Cross Country running with tricky uneven ground in some places and several energy sapping climbs. OK, maybe one thing was missing... read on.

The size of entry was impressive. Every runner now has a chance of competing in each event through into the New Year. It will be interesting to see how many turn out in the mid-winter rain and gales and the missing XC ingredient MUD!!
