School Cross Country

Who has memories of running cross country at school. I did it a few times but I don't remember it that well. I know we used to run around the school playing field, then along the road for a bit and then back around the field. I'm guessing we did it twice but it was over 40 years ago and I struggle to remember what I did yesterday. I was a keen athlete in my teens but long distance running was never something I enjoyed.

I loved all types of running, including crosscountry. But it was really tough for some of the less sporty students. I can remember seeing girls throw up on the course. I also have a guiltily funny memory of one girl tripping over her feet at the top of a hill and rolling all the way down to the bottom where she was told by our grumpy PE teacher to "stop messing about"!!! 🤣
