Chingford League – Alexandra Palace

The fourth round of this winters Chingford League was held on a traditional
cross-country course in the grounds of the historical Alexandra Palace. The
race was held on the old racecourse and featured mud and plenty of standing
water and a tough climb upto the Palace buildings on each of the 3 laps of
the 8.5km event.

A couple of athletes from the Ilford AC endurance squad travelled to North
London to take part as guest competitors. Krystle Balogun was in superb form
and used her strength in the difficult conditions to take 3rd place in a
good time of 39m 31s. Group coach Rob Sargent found the going not to his
liking coming home 109th in 48m 48s.
