Peco XC - Race 2

So today I tried just the second cross country race of my life - the 2nd race of the PECO series. The PECO is a low-key race series organised between a few of the local clubs. It was very well organised, and over an interesting course around Hunger Hills in Horsforth - thanks are due to Kirkstall Harriers and Horsforth Harriers for organising.

There was a great turnout from the Ilkley Harriers, and we won both the men's and mens's vets competition, even with our best runners saving themselves for a more competitive XC tomorrow.

The course was incredibly muddy, with it ankle deep in places. I went off too fast (as ever) and faded in the middle part of the race, but had a very enjoyable run to finish 29th alonside Henry H.
