Peter Palmer 2012 - last leg

woke up with everyone but went back to sleep but then woke up again at 4:45 so went to cheer ciaran on then after his run come back and went back sleep for a bit and went back when leg 4 was just setting off where at this point we were in 2nd then we were 5th when i staretd off on leg 6 so had lost around 15/20 minutes over the 2 girl legs, which disheartened me but knew i could catch 4th caught 3rd as well but was running on empty at this point and had run hard then 3rd to catch them up, in the end it come to a sprint finish but only having 1 last control was stupid and no finish line...

anyway the race was good nailed 1, 2 was fine along with 3 where i caught MDOC and he tryed stick with me but i kicked and dropped him, then into 5 with good flow to make sure he didnt get a sight of me. longer clear path round on 6 instead of messing around in all the little paths, nailed 7 and speed up slighty, 8 was fine, messed up 9 as the map was abit dodgy as a small path though the thickets +30 secs to a1 min, nailed 10 and good route to spectator control, slight hesitation on 12 +15 secs, nailed 13, 14, 15 then on the way to 16 the pace was high then tryed to break will by uping the pace with gained about 20m but a hesitation in the cicrle got us back together then 17 and sprint finish, pretty clean run and quick felt good, 2nd fastest split behind aidan by 40 secs

warm down with Mr A

rest :D

harriers easy run, felt crap as i was so tired but got better as it went by, easyish week with only pp left to run in this weeks plan

another run in the new shoes to break them in and gentle recovery run

got out the car on the way then jogged to the club and looped about breaking my new shoes in, they felt good and so did the new inshoes shaped to my feet, also felt well and was running decent good figure and efficent!

wasnt told what session we were doing so half the group set off hard as we were doing mile ish intervals, caught must them up from 250m behind then smashed them all on the second effort at the end up the gentle hill then up a 200m steep hill! then just a fastish pace with a few smaller efforts here and there after that, feel really good

jog back in

well deserved rest day!

but still went running... on a tread mill to get some special insoles and new road/training shoes!
