it's the autumn once again and it's Cross Country time!!

 

hundreds of athletes, coaches and supporters gathered at Horspath Track on the outskirts of Oxford today for the first meeting of the Chiltern League's 2009-2010 season . .

 

fortunately the course markings weren't as confusing as this . .

 

 

and a significant day in the life of Tring Running Club as our tent is erected for the first time . . now we just need one of those snazzy sail things!!!

 

 

the following pages include some shots of the different clubs clustering around their tents and sails (want one!!), then there's a page showing the start of the Senior and Veteran Ladies race, and then there are some pages of a few runners from my own club, Tring, and some of our neighbouring clubs too . .

 

I had a bad day at the office and seem to have forgotten everything I've learned about taking photos, and have discarded many, especially of the men's race which I took from earlier in the course on their first lap. I can't explain why, but my photos aren't of the standard I expect to take. Hopefully I'll do better next month at Slough . . see you there . .
