NEHL Lambton Castle, 20th October 2024
Due to various absences and injuries, we had a smaller cross-country turnout than usual (with the men even outnumbering the women, a rare occurrence!). However, once the driving wind and rain had given way to some sunshine, there were three cross-country debuts in Claremont colours for Jim Crinnion (one week on from the Chicago marathon), Paul Bastow and Yana Bevan, who gives this account of her experience:
“This race was really challenging in parts, but it was so rewarding to cross the finish line knowing I’d given it my best shot! Everyone at Claremont was fantastic today and created such a supportive environment. I will definitely be back for more cross country this season!”
Sonja Fenske finished in a brilliant 31st place, earning a promotion to the medium pack for the rest of the season!
