Thanks to Wayne for the following report: 12 sphinx men and 6 ladies, turned out in horrible condition to run in this year’s SPRING!!!!!! relay, at Sutton Park As you can see from the pictures the club tent became a hobbit house , as we had to lower it to the minimum and put all kit around the sides to stop them ending in Scotland due to the relentless wind, at one point the comment, it was bloody warmer in Norway, summed things up!

Results for the Warwick University XC relays, 05-Nov-2016

Thanks to captain Wayne for the following report:

A good way to warm up before our 1st xc league race next Saturday, and that is to take on the best that Warwick uni has to offer!!!! Over a 2 mile course around the sports grounds

Well that was the plan till our solitary Sphinx team rolled up and witnessed something called a warm up ( whatever one of them is )

Being carried out by a lot of very fast moving ¹⁹⁄₂₁ yr old s

Oh dear said rob fearing an almighty kicking, but then we spotted a more realistic target a full herd of northbrook rolled into view ,

One of Which was well in our sights till the captain on the last leg went well off course and ended up looking at a barn full of sit on grass mowers

( someone needs to by that bloke a map and compass)

Good fun , good sights and good cake what more do you need from a Saturday morning, and no where near Leicester!!!!!

Hopefully we can also get a full herd out next week for the 1st league race at burbrigde common, I will send email out later this week with times and directions

Results for the XC Relays, Wolverhampton, 22-Oct-2016

Four teams represented Sphinx at these Midlands XC Relays, 2 ladies’ teams and 2 men’s. Thanks to Fiona for the following report, support and photos.

The cross country relays took place at the Aldersley Stadium in Wolverhampton. The weather stayed dry which was great for me as I was spectating but it did mean that the runners got off lightly as there was hardly any mud on the course. The course consisted of two laps with a couple of hills but nothing as challenging as cardiac hill (Leamington cross country course coming soon!!!).

Thank you to everyone who took part in the race and especially Barry, Rachael and Vicki who all chose this one as their first cross country for the team. As Vicki was completing her first lap and shouted over to me ‘I hate you and I hate this course’ (with a smile on her face of course!!!) I thought her cross country time was over at the first hurdle, however by the end of the day Vicki had the cross country bug and was asking about the league races!!!! Vicki – I have already signed you up for them all!!!

If you would like to enter the cross country league races then please do let me know. It doesn’t matter how fast you are, it is just a chance to enjoy the races and they are great team events.
