February 3, 2013

Sixteen Sphinx AC runners took part in the fourth of this season’s five-mile races, with Quentin Henry and Laura Pibworth both winning cash prizes for taking 4th place in their respective categories. The conditions were clear and dry but pretty windy, making the back straight tough going. The temporary course is still in use – this adds a few twists, slopes and patches of rougher terrain, all of which negatively affect times.

Ten Sphinx AC seniors (plus one supporter!) made the trip up the M6 to run in the Midlands Counties Athletics Association XC on Stafford Common. Conditions were predictably bad; the women had to run on a course trampled by the juniors and the men had to follow. The snow-covered common rapidly turned extremely muddy with each footstep, making it tough going over most sections of the course. Official results are here (PDF):
