It's the morning of USATF Club Cross Country Nationals. A season's worth of cross country grit and prep comes to this final event to show who'll come out on top.
Most of the NBB team arrived Thursday evening and the remainder on Friday.
We previewed the course yesterday and found a good and challenging cross country course. The first half mile is on a bumpy uphill grass field. The rest of the course is a roller coaster of winding loops. The course is wide open with little wind coverage but good for keeping an eye on the competition. The multiple loop (two for women, three for men) will provide for good spectating of the battles to take place.
At race time the weather will be 40*F, partly sunny and winds at 7mph from the SE.
The women's 6k 12:45p start and men's 10k 1:30p start will be full of anticipation.
The women have their goals set high. There are three to five teams that come between what NBB women have wanted for four years. The win.
This is the third year that the NBB men have a scoring team. With every team, the men look to show their continued improvement. The chase for spots is on.
