ICSV’s Cross Country season is well underway. I have two dedicated runners this year, and we’ve been having a lot of fun! Since there really isn’t an opportunity to run against other schools here, we enter races around the city where they can compete within their age group.
Our first 5K race resulted in one of my runners placing 3rd in her age group, earning a nice little trophy.
Our second race was a bit of an adventure. It was supposed to be 6.6km long, but it turned out that people ended up running different distances. Due to an error on the course, the fastest runners were pointed the wrong direction and only ran 3.6 km. Some others knew the course and ran the correct distance. And then there were the rest of us who ended up running 7.3km. Oops. Despite all this, the team did well, and would have won an award or two if there wasn’t so much confusion about the results.
Stay tuned for more updates and results!
