PECO 2/5

The dedicated trio of Mick, Emma and Rose were out again last Sunday (14th December) for round two of the PECO winter 2014/15 XC race series. This round was held at the splendid-for-an-afternoon-out venue of Nostell Priory where, for a couple of hours, 400+ cross country runners responsibly undid the Capability Brown inspired serenity of the historic grounds and parkland.

The usual mud and slog were apparent but all 3 GO VEGGIES performed well and finished high enough up their respective orders to 'count' for their local team (the PECO series is a team based competition run under UKA rules which obliges all competitors to run for a fully UKA affiliated club). This is no mean feat as the quality of competition - even to be able to 'count' - is very high.

Mick continues to improve and is undoubtedly approaching the ranks of elite-for-age runner, while Emma and Rose (pictured) finished well up their age group order with Emma achieving 12/30 and Rose 10/29 positions.
