British Masters XC – Belfast
Saturday 10th November 2012

Gareth Booth and Martyn Bell ventured over to Belfast last Saturday to represent England in the British and Irish X/Country championships.

The original venue was Stormont, but due to the course being heavily flooded and to minimise the risk of cancellation on the event day, the Queens University Playing Fields was selected.

The course was 8k and relatively flat with only a few bumps and boggy patches to contend with – the first 4 of 6 England runners would contribute towards the “team” effort in which England eventually went onto win gold.

Age groups 35-39 / 40-44 / 45-49 all ran in the same race and within the M40-44 Category, Martyn eventually finished 6th and Gareth 15th. A fairly respectable result for both but lessons learnt and experience gained to take into the winter races.

A great evening followed with Guinness flowing well at the famous “Crown” pub before attending the dinner / presentation evening at the Europa Hotel.
