Saturday saw Antony Scott take part in the Maverick Adidas Terrex West Sussex series trail race- middle course finishing in a time of 1:20:07 and then in the evening the Maverick Exposure Lights Dark West Sussex trail race- long route in 2:08:13. Sadly Tony picked up an injury half way round which made the second half hard going.
