Crazy first cross race of the season! 💩 To say it was a bit of a shock to the system is an understatement, but also managing to take the win in Elite was even more of a shock! 🙈 Excited for more muddy races and amazing courses like this to come! 🤪 https://t.co/HdHFxm47hT— Hattie Harnden (@HHatt1e) October 6, 2019
