Results for Midlands XC Championships, 28-Jan-2012

A number of Sphinx AC runners made the trip up to Nottingham to race in the Midlands XC championships. Conditions were quite favourable – there had been no rain and there was no wind to contend with.

Results for Gloucester Marathon, 22-Jan-2012

Mitch and Jackie Timms represented Sphinx AC in this uninspiring marathon. Mitch says: This was one of the most tedious, soul-destroying races we have ever done. Two two-mile laps to start with followed by three seven mile laps. A 50k ultra event was being held simultaneously (four more laps of the same) so the course resembled spaghetti junction at times. That apart, well organised, moderately flat, only a couple of hills (well 2 x 3) and ideal weather.
