Jim chose the hottest day of the year for the 10 mile trail run from the Woodman pub at Goathurst Common. Nevertheless, all participants returned after a hilly 10 miles looking just as fresh as in this "before" pictue. This was mainly thanks to Jim's excellent organisation, allowing participants to run in glorious countryside without fear of dehydration.
Jim has pencilled in Sunday 18th August for the next trail run which will start from Toy's Hill National Trust car park at 9am. "It's slightly shorter (about 9 miles) but with plenty of hills", says Jim.
European Triathlon Championships
When not running cross country for Sevenoaks AC, Cath and Andrew Linney do triathlons. Andy Evans reports that:

Burton Trail race near Lake Tahoe
