Achilles worrying painful to walk on.

Indoor bouldering at Ambleside wall - pretty crap, really.

Afternoon drinking at ODG pub, Langdale - old peculiar - eased my pain :)

Jk relay, 4.3k, ? climb, went off 2nd caught FVO Jon Cross 25secs at no 1, but conscience got the better of me in the urban bit & took my own route round the buildings which led to steps not on map! He was away, never saw him again. Held it 2gether for rest of race, but v tired. Cljve had no chance against Marcus P anyway.... 2nd place; terrific run from geoff ellis on leg 1.

great JK, v happy to get on podium , tired battered, hobbling on my achilles but all good except for friday, a very sad day.

now in Lakes til Sunday....

C • 2nd 4

Jk, long, 9.9km 365m , Kilnsey. Poor run, conditions & area found very testing. Caught greg hull 2 mins at no 5, and we stayed togethr all the way, to my frustartion but to be fair he found some of the controls I missed in the circle. Dropped to 6th overall, clearly others suffered too - I had hail at no 11 which was vile but nothing like as bad as the later utter hoolie!! Clive 2nd & Charlie had a total mare at no 7 & fell back to 7th.

Jk long day. 6.9km 375m climb. Good run. Couple of small errors, eg found 22 before 18. Hesitant in places & terrain a bit tough for my liking. Delighted & surprised to be 4th, not far behind the big hitters.

Event: JK 2016
 

Jk sprint urban, leeds uni. Dreadful, dreadful race. Ok on 16 controls, disastrous on 2. Drawing board job. 21st.....

Very easy run in park, sadly RH Achilles / heel stabbed at me twice, both times when starting up, having paused. Bit of a pattern there.

I think I ran too fast on Monday, but there you go.

Calf a bit niggly, need to do more mobility on hips & hammys, is all.


Now rest.
