This year the team comprised of 15 athletes,
the biggest team yet entered for Northern Ireland and a number of whom
were new to the sport.
The terrain over the two days consisted of a
mixture of grazing land with some small coniferous plantations on the hills and
in the valleys some delightful if a bit damp, areas of deciduous woodland. This resulted in a fast race in full sun with
temperatures well into the 20s.
Unfortunately the team incurred a few
injuries on both days which restrained some athletes from performing to their
full potential, but nevertheless, the team was positioned 10th after
the first day of individual races and then gained a place on the second day
after the relay race meaning that this year Northern Ireland finished 9th
overall which is a position gain over last years 10th which is
fantastic!
Congratulations to everyone who took part,
this couldn’t have taken place without you, and a very well done to Jack Millar
4th M16 and Andrea Stefko 7th
W18. I hope all those injured are
recovering well.
Keep up the good work.
