Michael Wilson reports: The massive army of runners that set off at the start was a spectacle to behold. Hundreds of people racing down the long grassy hill, trying to dodge trees, branches and other runners! Through some mud to the bottom and then across a concrete bridge over the River Gade and Grand Union Canal into the woods. Up, up, up a long steep hill to the top and then the start of two hilly laps before the descent back down the path to the bridge and the long up hill back to the finish. 5.9 Miles to be precise! A stunning course through the scenic Cassiobury Park in Watford on a fairly mild, still day; perfect conditions for cross country running.
Becky Evans was the first ELR women’s finisher in 42nd position, followed by Kathryn Hertzberg - 64th and Sandra Preston - 73rd. Phoebe Bowman - 75th and Kasia Stachowiak - 81st, completed the scoring for the women’s team.
First for the men was Shahib Ali - 68th, who just edged Karan Gadhia into 69th position, followed by Mark Moir in 110th. Jacob Stevens - 144th, Michael Wilson - 165th, Monir Dahbi - 170th, Grant Conway - 176th and
Abdirahman Adan - 203rd, completed the scoring for the men.
Good runs from Debbie, Monir and Abdi on their Sunday League debuts. Thanks to everyone who ran on Sunday - another great turnout. Including , those who ran after bouts of illness and our Sunday League stalwarts - you know who you are! Finally our baker, Karan whose lovely chocolate cakes lifted our sugar levels after a hard race!
See you for the 5th and final race of the season at Therfield Heath, Royston on 13th February.

Karan Gadhia: Thanks to everyone who ran today at the Essex XC Championships in the rain and thick mud. A couple of very steep hills including a sharp downhill where some people slipped over.
Rachel Le Roux was the sole ELR representative in a large women's field that contained full teams from other Elvis clubs but she ran well and said she enjoyed the race.
In the men's race, CRoTM Joe Gunn was the first finisher for the club followed by James Nichols ,
Louis Le Roux and myself within a minute of each other. Finbar Sheahan was next and Michael Wilson completed the scoring for the men's team. Monir Dahbi and John O'Brien also ran well and we enjoyed chocolate cupcakes at the finish.
I always love to wear my club colours but I felt especially proud to represent the club today at a prestigious event like the county championships.

Michael Wilson: Thanks Karan, the cup cakes were delicious!
This race was very wet, muddy, hilly and at the finish we were all cold and soaked to the skin! Traditional cross country and I loved every minute. It was a great honour just to take part. Hope your knee will be ok Calvin after a few days rest. Thanks Susan for your support out in the hills!

Well done, Caz Edwards for a very successful return to XC racing !
Sorry there was a cluster of runners for which we could not write the time down!
We were really glad to see so much participation from the club (really sorry for the ones who couldn't join at the last moment!) and we are forever grateful to our marshals : Susan Edwards, Morag Campbell, Fiona Campbell, Frank Brownlie, Susannah McLaren, Tricia O'Neill and the moving Caroline Frith's family with a special thanks to Joe Preston and Ilford runner: Diarmuid Mac Donnell who helped us to set up the course with the sawdust early this morning ! (great weight lifting exercise!)
Alexandra, Jacob and Sandra

Maya Goodwin reports: OMG That was fantastic. Thank you so much for organising such a great race. Love my club x
Catch the Pigeon. The Hunger Games. They both seemed slightly terrifying. I tried thinking of The Railway Children instead, but I wasn't sure if Sarah Burns was wearing a red flannel petticoat to rescue me if there was a train.
I was considering just pootling along till the second starter joined me. That seemed less stressful. But Sarah gave me a big pep talk.
‘No Maya. No. You don’t even THINK about anyone else. This is your chance to run as hard as you can. Run your race and keep as many people off as you can’
Ok. Well that sounded like hard work. But I had a 5 min head start, so it had to be worth a try. Off I set, with cheers in my ears, following sawdust. It was uphill, muddy, downhill, less muddy, flat, there were walkers, horses, bikes. I huffed and puffed past them all. Running past walkers, I could see them looking at me curiously as I puffed past them. A couple asked 'is it a race?. 'Club run' was all I could manage. I'm sure they were wondering why someone so slow was at the front. I wanted to explain, but there was no time. Keep running Maya.
At 5.7k at the top of a long straight road, I looked back. There! A tiny red speck in the distance. Was it a speedster racing like the wind? Or a slower runner like me, which would give me a bit more time. I chuffed along, and at 6k there was more mud. I rolled my eyes. I was over it now. Sliding though the muddy path I saw more walkers. This time I had breath to gasp out: 'When you see the next red vest coming this way, tell them Maya says slow down'
They did as well.
At 7k John White caught me. I was striding up the hill but it wasn't faster than his run and he overtook. A glance over my shoulder and it was still clear. I kept on, running with short walk breaks. And then another red. Caz caught me and I knew that I needed to move if I was going to keep a podium place. But there was so much mud! I am clumsy at the best of times, so I slowed down. John had held back to 'encourage' me though the mud. Stupid mud.
And then it was the home straight. I ran with everything I had left (which wasn't much) to hold onto second place. I turned round after I crossed the line, and there was literally a sea of red, as everyone came thundering in to finish right behind me, so I hadn't had a second to waste.
Alex and team, this was one of my favourite runs. Thank you so much! It was such a new experience to be chased, and it really taught me a lot about resilience and keeping on going. A perfect end to a holiday season and an even better start to the new year.
