Turned away from the early toilet break, some runners had to embark on a long excursion to the toilet at the other end of the common, but the whole team were ready to go when the time came
The river wouldn't be an obstacle this year due to environmental reasons, and the deluge of rain that week so far hadn't actually made the course a quagmire
Stirring words from captain Messette who has impressed all with his leadership skills so far this year got the team ready, and a first appearance of XC legend Miss Tomes and coach Francis meant we were fully motivated
The race was a little confusing, with stewarding errors leading to at least 3 separate races being run, but a strong field including some of the best schools in the country would be a tough but rewarding field.
The boys all ran really well, and all can take great heart from their performances. All who had previously ran bettered their times, and the first-timers can be confident now they have run this distance
