The European Cross Country Championships are coming up next Sunday the 14th of December in Bulgaria.The Irish team left Dublin airport today as can be seen in this video clip from Athletics Ireland...
Feidhlim Kelly who writes articles on athletics for the Irish Examiner is in Bulgaria covering the event. As you can see from the photo and video clips, it's going to be very muddy on Sunday...
Update on Saturday...
Feidhlim has an article in the Irish Examiner about the championships from Friday and another here from Saturday.
In many cross country courses on grass, it's often a case that the fastest person wins. With so much mud present next Sunday, it should make things a lot more interesting and make it more competitive. i.e. speed alone is not enough to win.
The races will be shown on RTE2 television on Sunday morning from 10:55am to 2:05pm.
