First XC race of the season

This weekend will be my first XC race of the winter season, it's race 1 of the Gwent League and kicks off in Bridgend. I've never done any of the Gwent League races, in fact I've only ever done 3 or 4 XC races in my (adult) life, so it's all new to me!

Apparently this race is a very flat lapped course, with one small hill, which you do 3 times. I think we're forecast heavy rain on Saturday, but pretty cool and clear on Sunday, so the course should be pretty fast! All the skinny "real" runners should go well on this course, not quite sure how my little triathlete legs will fair though! Train and race smart all!
