The Canterbury XC course features a tough 1.5 mile loop that is done twice with a little extra after the second loop to get close to 5km. They started using this loop last fall and will probably keep using it. It has a nice mix of cart path (dirt road), grass, and rough single-track trail. It also has two tough little hills on the loop (so you get to do them twice) with a total of over 300’ of climb/descent. It really hurts especially the second time around, climbing 80’ in .2 then dropping 40’ in .1 before the final gasser climbing back up 50’ in .1. This is truly a great Cross-Country course.
I was hoping to run
even splits this week and hopefully sneak under my time from May (20:26), I
exceeded on both counts. Here are my attempts on this course:
10/15/21 – (didn’t
run all out with 2 days until XC nationals) 10:21 & 10:21 – 20:42
10/23/21 – 9:48
& 9:54 – 19:52
05/14/22 – 10:00
& 10:14 – 20:26
09/16/22 – 10:15
(course was just 1 loop with about 400 meters before we did the loop)
10/15/22 – 10:20
& 10:16 – 20:36
10/22/22 – 10:02
& 9:58 – 20:13
