WEDLOOP GEDAGTES

18 Jul 2017 by Mnr R Geyer


1. Smile a lot
2. Cross-country racing allows you to throw off the watch and return to the fundamental competitiveness of running – you vs. the course, you vs. the competition and you vs. you. Enjoy this.
3. Capitalize on your strengths. If you are a good downhiller, then fly down the hills. If you are a good uphiller, then attack the hills.
4. Surge on every turn. Think “quick feet” as you slingshot yourself out of corners.
5. Run not just to the top of hills but OVER the top of hills. Many runners relax when they get to the top of hills. The best runners run hard over the top of the hill to keep their pace going.
6. Challenge yourself to catch runners in front of you. This is the fun of cross-country. It’s about place, not pace. Each runner ahead of you is a target, so commit yourself to catching them.
