Just a short update - the gallery for all the Sussex XC League Round 2 at Ardingly were uploaded and online saturday afternoon - using a new gallery for us when it's just me covering something on a freelance basis and not sponsored by the organisers. Whilst the number tagging and search is not 100% when compared to our normal gallery, it also has a selfie-search facility which also allows you to purchase all your photos for a very discounted price.

| A nice healthy busy event village |
one downside of the new test gallery is that they take a 30% cut plus paypal fees, so that's about 40% gone on the overall price and that's before we consider VAT - however it does allow me to get out and cover a race, see some of you I've not seen for a while, and get some much needed vitamin D - and saved me from 8 hours of image cataloguing...

Apologies to any of you who heard me imitating my old coach from Trafford AC as I shouted "Run Faster!". It's a long story, but hopefully it motivated some of you too.
 |
| Here comes the future ! |
 |
| And here's the present... |
So, if you would be so kind and you know the team managers or parents at the Sussex XC League meeting - please let them know that photos are online and available for them to see their hard work on the day.

Experience tells me the team managers don't send it on, the parents never see the images, and well, people wonder why they never get any good photography coverage... I think the last time I did the league was 2009 because precisely this. So all your help in sharing the gallery to those that were there - if only for them to see themselves and their friends on what was a lovely day - would be greatly appreciated.

So that's the quick update for this weekend - I'll have a look on Fetcheveryone in a bit to see if there was a lot of weekend action - but at first glance - it apart from the cross country leagues - it doesn't really appear to be anything above 500 people going on in the 10k or half marathon world.
So, fingers crossed I will have shifted this cold that unfortunately my arthritis medication stops my immune system work on very well - it's been two weeks now... (negative covid test and I'm Flu and Pneumonia jabbed).
So please share the gallery link to your team - all age groups are covered: https://sspimg.com/sussex-xc-league2-2022
results are up online here https://www.sussexathletics.net/2022-2/
until next time, keep safe and train well
Anthony
