My BANES Cross Country Contribution

My contribution to the BANES Cross Country Challenge was to direct the competitors to the correct route whilst encouraging them on to finish the race.

Thoughts and Feelings

My thoughts and feelings to the entire event were.. I thought it went extremely well, every leader turned up on time, we all was at the correct places where we needed to be, the course was set out how we wanted it to be, and the event was a great success.

How you completed your job

I completed my job with the assistance of Reuben Caven, I turned up on time, was where I was suppose to be, and directed the fellow competitors to their correct destination.

Improvements to the competition

The only real improvement I can think of is better communication between the leaders of the event, e.g. walkie talkies, so we can communicate what race is next, when it's started, when it's finished and when the event has finished.
