Ok Nuts Blood races... - Half blood (Brown) course
Mass start........ Bit of a point and run area but who cares :D

Really good fun and a brilliant race in the warm sun :P

Really cold and very very windy today... So we did a speed endurance session :) (watch was running constantly for the session) so windy... We couldn't use the back straight! :P
2x200m, 3x150m, 4x100m
First thought - easy session!
200 times: 27, 27
150 times: 19, 20, 20
100 times: 13, 14, 14, 13
It was surprisingly hard! Didn't help that I exploded into coughing fits after every rep... Not feeling well :/
N.B. also first time wearing spikes on the track in ages!!! Felt so quick ;)... They are falling apart though :'(
