Sheila Chelangat on her way to winning the Kenyan Cross Country Championships (© Michelle Katami) Uneven terrain, a 50-metre-long water and mud section, tough competition and a new winner in the men’s race all characterised the Kenyan Cross Country Championships in Nairobi on Saturday (13). Rodgers Kwemoi and defending women’s champion Sheila Chelangat fed off stiff competition and cold conditions to win the senior titles on a course that was made more challenging following a heavy downpour on Friday night. The two races were both tactical but played out in different ways. The women’s race was compact through the first two-kilometre lap. Chelangat took on the race in her typical style – running from the front, only to slow down at the water section. Chelangat forced the pace until a lead pack of just five women had broken away from the rest of the pack at about 6km.
