Decent warm up but poor warm down as was knackered after my run.

Peter Palmers Legs 2 5.4km climb N/A

Took over from Harrison who had a pretty decent run coming in 7th on the 1st leg, maybe 6/7 minutes down. Poor start, messing up number one, as with it being dark i couldn't fathom quite the shape of the field. Ended up way too high annoyingly losing a good amount of time but sorted my head out on the way to 2, however messed up in the circle losing yet more time, it looks so much different in the dark! Got it right in to 3 but it wasn't hard, then headed straight down the hill, but messed up again confusing the sparse open. 4-5 was just a running leg so was fine, then ok on 7 but went too far up so losing time the straight to 7 and found it ok. Couldn't get on the path for 8 so lost time falling through undergrowth. Straight to 9 and 10 and found them fine then same leg reversed as 4-5 for 10-11. Along the beach for 12 was beautiful as the sun was just coming up over the mountains. So straight up a path there then messed up 13 as i went too far, questionable mapping.14 was fine, then long leg to 15 missed it a bti but corrected easy enough. 16 was fine back across the field 1 was in, then in to the arena for spectator. Up to 18, found it easy the caught up sarah on the way to 19, over took her, then easy through 20-21 and change over to Hamish.
Poor run, lost maybe 7 minutes to be honest, could have caught up SYO if i was spot on, but just need to be cleaner. Not a fan of night legs so looks like the green for me next year. Couldn't be a 5 as it just wasn't a good enough run.

As we were up in the lakes for Peter Palmers, I thought I may as well make the most of it. As i was heading out, bumped in to Matt Hartland, so got chatting and we decided to run together. Hadn't spoke to him much, but knew him from here and results, he's a pretty nifty runner, we took it pretty easily because we had the race tomorrow obviously, but especially with the climb, we made goof progress. So headed out along the footpath halfway up cat bells, then split for a bit as i decided i'd take on some hefty climb and he carried on the path. Was pretty good on the climb. Put in a shift to catch him up again then we just chatted all the way to the road then all the way back along to the houses we stayed in. Really good run and a nice to not have been on my own.

School then straight to aimees to sTay over before Peter Palmers, log has been brief as I've updated it in the car on the way up

Last day of summer as back to school tomorrow so made the most of it to get a last long run in. Headed out basically ullesthorpe then dunton run, loved it but was glad for sunglasses as it was so sunny!
