Results

Here are the first set of scores, freshly calculated after 2 rounds of competition. In summary, it's a handicap competition, with last year's performances as your 'base'. If you didn't compete last year, an arbitrary base will be assigned, and you'll be unlikely to win. As ever, you're setting a mark for next year. In the end, your best 4 performances will count, so you can miss one round and still be in with a chance.

Well done to all those intrepid ERR folk who made it to Cirencester in the first place, then 'enjoyed' a proper cross country mudfest. Particular mentions go to Laura for her top 10 finish in the ladies race, and to Henry, who made his cross country debut. Hope it didn't put him off... As far as I can tell, the men's team was 17th on the day, while the women's team was 16th. Quite what that means for the season, I don't know, and it might be best not to ask.   U17 Results:

The cross country fixture at the new course of Cornbury Park was challenging in various ways, so well done to all the ERRs who made it there and then made it round. Particular congratulations to Katherine for winning her category (if I've interpreted the results correctly) in her first cross country race since 2019. As far as I can tell, the ERR men's team are bottom of Division 1 after this round, although to be honest I hadn't realised we'd been promoted. The ERR ladies are 6th in Division 2.

A rather limited ERR turnout for what was a pretty tough race, given the hilly course and warm conditions. So, in view of that, massive congratulations to Dave for setting an excellent PB. Congratulations also to Ros, Kate and Katherine for their category 'prizes'. Unfortunately, this is as close as they will get to any real recognition, as the organisers were too tight to even give out awards to category winners.

Just as well it wasn't the Woodstock 12, as just about everyone said, but still a tough run in that heat. Congratulations to Laura for winning her category, and to Phil, Ros and Katherine for being placed in theirs. In addition, the ERR ladies Laura, Alison and Ros were the 3rd ladies team.

Well done to all the ERRs who completed the hilly course around the villages near Witney, and congratulations to Ros and Nadine for their category prizes. My spy on the course tells me that it was hot, and that no one played their joker, so please correct me if necessary (on the second part).
