Sphinx AC men and women attended the Midlands XC championships at Newbold Comyn in absolutely atrocious weather and running conditions.
The morning had been dry and bright, but a storm came in from the west as the event was about to get underway. Torrential rain, thunder & lightning, hail and wind made conditions very unpleasant for the runners. The infamous ditch at Newbold was considerably swollen, claiming many a victim on the day.
