Ed Sander Memorial 'Cross Race at Lily Ponds

I don't have too many words to say, I will say that I had a blast. I started at the back- 3 people off the back to be exact - out of around 65 or something and I only had use of the big ring after lap one. That said, combined with no training since the SM 100 I was pleased with my performance- 5th.

I'd been planning to do 'cross since late October last year. But one thing or another got in the way, the season went by, and I did nothing. I promised myself that I would make the 2006 season different, at least try it out once and see how it goes. I love it. It was a blast.
