Easy run

Need to take it easy

Castleton

Started well then my legs just decided they had had enough after about 15 minutes. Thursday's run was harder than i thought and my legs had nothing to give after that point, plus must people had rested up for it. Awful result never the less.

Knew this but wanted to race being such a good race, solid few weeks training now ready for a few 5ks in a few weeks a 3000m on Tuesday to see where I'm at.

Very easy run with Wright, Saville and Crickmore. Knee hurting at the start but got better and in terrain so not to bad.

Good little race. Didn't have a clue where we were going so me and Jack Wright had to keep stopping and waiting for 3rd to point us in the right direction!

Started steady ish then realed @skids95 in after his fast start. Sat on the group for a bit but had enough of that and kicked on down hill. Too the river crossing and I tiptoed to go over the stones (stupid idea), went flying and almost did a front flip. Got bruises on both knees, left quad, right shin, left pectoral and my back. Fucked me over a bit but carried on but Jack was pulling away as a result of it. Slowly shuck it off and steadily closed the gap on the hill. Nice descent and then through the river to early which was waiste deep. Climbed up and back onto the road and still felt like I had plenty to give so turned on the jets to open up a gap, back over the stream (not on the rocks) then pushed up the hill and got on the flat/slightly downhill last 1k and cruised in.

The guy was pretty impressed with the time with the conditions and was pretty sure I could run sub 24. so will be up for smashing it another time when the river is lower and I know the way. Good race with Jack too.

Cool little race, nice pint of doombar after and I think I got alway pretty lucky with the fall, could have been very nasty.

Fucked leg WD
