Cumbria Cross Country League 2010/11 - Race 4 - Fitz Park, Keswick, Cumbria

I decided to have a go at this race to see how my foot would hold out after injuring it in may last year whilst training for the Skiddaw race. I went down to keswick with my mate Andrew martindale  The ground was frozen over in lots of places so the going was tough, on the second lap of four i nearly pulled out after banging  my heel on a raised sod, but tried to run it off ,finishing in a time of 45.38. immediately after the race i was talking to James douglas and Chris steele.  James won in a time of 30.38 / 36.38 after adding the 6 min hcap, and Chris was a close 2nd in a time of 31.21 / 37.21 after adding the 6 min hcap. Andrew had a time of 40.30. I could barely lift my foot off the ground after talking for just a couple of mins, i thought i had made a big mistake running with the ground being so hard, however the next day it started to settle down a bit so i was on the phone to Andrew to tell him i would be up for the Carlisle one on the 13th of feb.
