Sarah Out of Euro XC

If you were planning to tune in to watch Sarah McCormack running for Ireland on Sunday in the European Cross Country  Champs, don't! Unfortunately she has had to pull out due to a foot problem which flared up about 10 days ago. She has yet to get back running and you can't go into a championship race on the back of two weeks non-impact cross training. Very frustrating for her as she has put in a really good block of training and was no.2 in the Irish team aiming to defend their team title from 2012. Tough task now with Sarah being the second withdrawal the team has suffered.
