Cannock trail 10k race. Report by Colly. Well my first trial experience I would describe as Three H’s hot, hilly and hard terrain. The start lured you into a false sense of security with a wide path and downhill section that got you into your stride. Mile two to three were tough with lots of hills and narrow sections with no overtaking. Lots of people were walking and it was difficult to go round them. At half way there was a much needed water station followed by a steep downhill which gently shook all the water over me. That enjoyment didn’t last long as another turn led you up another steep hill. Mile 4 to 5 I was starting to wonder if there was going to be a ski lift as there was really long hard hill. My feet barely moved as I shuffled up the hill. The last mile was really enjoyable and before you know it you are out of the woods with the end in the sight. Tough going but the medal was worth it.
