Love lost, race won

Certainly the muddiest course in the London Colleges league, Guildford provided a tough race, especially for Zola Budd who lost her shoe in the ploughed fields. There was also disappointment for Yellow-Arse, whose soap-opera love saga with his ex-girlfriend finally ended when she did not even turn up to watch him run. He was rubbish anyway.

Jennie, AGAIN, won the women’s race with Dawn putting her best performance of the year. Gaffer, in his element in the mud-wrestling conditions, was pleased with his run which was stimulated by his weekend innings of twenty-eight in Exeter.

After blocking the showers with mud, IC cross country made a quick dash to the bar where we won the post-race drinking competition - hee hee! Unfortunately we had to depart early to meet Poland!
