LCL Race 1 of 6: Parliament Hill, Hampstead Heath, 16th October 2013

Before we start, a couple of things: 

Your club Captains should have the full results, if you haven't seen them, then let us know and we'll send them to you.

1) If you're at a UL College (if in doubt, they're listed here: http://www.london.ac.uk/305.html) and you're thinking of competing at any of the major BUCS events this academic year (Cross Country, Triathlon or Athletics) then please join up to the UL Athletics, Cross Country and Triathlon Club, it only costs a tenner in total! It's easy, just pop along to UL Union on Mallet Street, get a UL card (this bit is free, all you need is a passport photo and your college ID) and join the club with a 'Join a Club/ Society' form. You need to enter all 12 digits from your UL card, luckily this year digits 1 and 12 are a bit bigger than they were previously! Please try and join before the end of October or we might not get the funding we need for this year!

2) It'd be great of anyone that has photos of the race could add them to the London Colleges League flickr group!

3) We'd love to get new people contributing to the blog, if you'd like to add your own flava to it, please just let us know, doesn't have to be all 'stat' based, weave your own narrative arc with a prose account of your experience of a race! Although these posts tend to focus on the faster runners, we want to emphasise that the LCLs are for all abilities and speeds so getting new contributors from the wider field would be a great way to do this.

Jess Andrews stormed the Heath with a powerful run, up with some of the stronger men on the first lap, and held on having been tracked down in the closing stages by Annabelle Gunmow to win by 3 seconds. There was a slightly bigger gap to Adelle Tracey in third.
