Event: CompassSport Cup Final
 

CompassSport Cup Final at Greenham Common - running for SLOW. Took it quite easy as was still recovering from illness last weekend. In general didn't feel so bad, but felt really weak and tired on the final loop. First time running over 10km this season, but Greenham Common is extremely flat and fast. There were three long legs going across the old cold war airstrip.

Made a few small mistakes here and there - nothing costing me more than a couple of minutes each time. Finished 75th of 144 in an extremely strong field including most of the British Squad and others travelling down from around the country. Huzzah just beat me, I just beat an injured Simon E, and beat Ian. Rob P and Jon M soundly beat me. Fuller analysis to follow.

C • Splits? 2

From home to Paddington via The Mall, then from Newbury to Greenham Common, then later from Fulham back home, via The Mall. Very tired on the way back.

Brown - Splits

Cycle around Limehouse and Canary Wharf, taking photographs with a water theme for a camera club.

Took it easy as first time on the bike since getting ill a week ago, and not fully recovered yet. Got minor bump by a white (BT) van on the Aldgate gyratory - managed to rearrange his wing mirror. He was trying to cross lanes and I was holding my line. I already knew this was the most dangerous part of the journey.

50/50 at this point whether I'll be well enough for the CSC Final on Sunday.

Much more traffic than usual on the Whitechapel Road.
