Chrysalis K9 Canicross Series - Race 1

On Sunday the 8th October the troops and i made our way to Cliff Lakes, Tamworth to participate in the first of the new Chrysalis K9 Canicross Series. Its a series with a difference where by the aim is to better your time with each monthly race and be the most improved runner at the end of the series.

I felt for the event organisers as a few days before the race day they learned that the venue had double booked so with a lot of re organising the event was still able to go ahead all be it at a much earlier start / finish time than had previously been planned for.

It was my first time at this venue so it was a pleasant change to be running somewhere new for both Dutchy and myself.

The course was a short 3.5k but incorporated a couple of hills and of course what goes up must come down. Living in Northamptonshire Dutchy and i don't often come across hills so there was a moment in that down hill section i honestly thought i was going to go flying flat on my face !

We completed the course in a nice time of 15:15 and received a lovely glass medal for our effort.

​Admin: Well done for a fab time - the flying Dutchy is starting to enjoy this canicross lark!
