THE BIG BUCS BLOG

On the 6th of this month, a Saturday, 48 Cross Country runners represented Imperial College in Gloucester at the BUCS Cross Country race of 2016.

If you didn’t know, BUCS stands for ‘British Universities & Colleges Sport’.

The whole trip was organized and hyped up by our wonderful ICXC&A committee, who had put lots of work in to get us there, have a good time (especially for BUCS freshers – like me) and be safe.

And I did have a good time. The whole BUCS 2016 experience began with a text from a mysterious ‘GH’. The one and only Gary Hoare.

Ally Pally LCL (27/01/16)

On Wednesday (it’s Friday today) I participated in another London Colleges League race. This time, it took place in Alexandra Palace, or as others call it (myself included now), Ally Pally.

This was the fourth and penultimate LCL race of the yearly series, but third for me.

The journey there from South Kensington campus took about 50 minutes, including tube, national rail train and walking. Upon arrival I noticed that the course already had red and yellow markers used to border the track. But what stood out most to me was the mud and slope of the terrain.

The run consisted of 3 laps around the marked course, each lap 2.2km long.

Autumn Term

Happy new year! And merry belated Christmas!

I hope you had a great time with your friends and family, wherever you are.

It’s just been a few days since the start of the new year and I’m excited to continue my studies here in the Spring term.

But what happened in the Autumn term?

Well, for one thing, I became an Imperial student blogger, which I’m really amped to be. I know I haven’t written as often as the other bloggers (do check their blogs out – they’re great!), but I’ve been busy.

I’m not lying. Seriously…

Alright. To be honest, I could have made some time to write a post or two.
