Streatham Common 6 mile cross country - a killer race

My second cross country race, on Streatham Common, was just 6 days after the first. I didn't expect it to be easy, cross country never is, but I was shattered!

Streatham Common is basically one big hill. The race wasnt ALL up and down, but most of it was. And not being the biggest fan of hills, I struggled just a bit. The race started, heading down, down and down. That was good while it lasted. But then there was pay-back - uphill. And this went on for 6.3 miles.

I made it to the end! How, I barely remember. The time was just over 49 minutes, which is not too shabby, and it was great practice for the 17th (10K against my brother).

Then, after-race beers:)
