8x ~600m reps (~1.50min rest)
As it was St Andrews Day we had to run diagonals and straight sections to make the Scottish flag. I ended up paired with Jill so we were near the front throughout. For the first reps I'd start just in front of Oleg and another guy and try to stay in front of them as long as possible. Last few reps were were on our own between Tam's team and the rest.
Really fun session. Started far too fast, getting caught up in the mass start competitiveness. But didn't slow as much as I thought I had. The second rep of each set was a struggle, finishing with the steeper diagonal. Legs were really dying by the end!

Really struggled to motivate myself to go out in the cold and dark by myself. Was quite pleasant once I finally got out. Had the moonlit seat completely to myself apart from the bunnies and fox.

Wind was very minimal by KF standards and ground had dried out. Running with Pedley, Naoya and Tom, feeling quite strong throughout. Probably the best ive felt on one of these sessions so far this year. Chest tightened up on 4th rep but managed to keep the breathing under control and was okay for the last one.

7th
Very muddy and cold, with snow still on the ground. First lap went well, settled in behind Jill and an Edinburgh AC girl with a large gap behind us already. Was going fine up the hill the second time, then hit the muddy singletrack and the Edinburgh AC girl just bounced across the mud whilst I was swimming and practically came to a stop. Lost probably 20secs to them up the hill and across the open field, then found it hard to keep pushing as there was noone chasing from behind either. Don't know why I lost so much time as I felt in control, then almost instantly I was struggling.
HBT team finished 2nd so that was nice! Possibly could've challenged Central for 1st if Georgia hadn't rolled her ankle on the first lap.
Same time as 2 years ago, but can't really compare as it was a lot muddier this year and the course stayed in the trees at the end of the lap instead of going through the muddy field.

Very wet and windy so was a case of cruise the first half, then tuck in and push as hard as possible into the wind. Felt fairly good. Managed to stick with the group the whole time apart from the last rep when I got stitch in the last few minutes and my breathing went, but only a few metres behind.

1st
I thought this was going to be a sprint so I was very disappointed to find out on the day that it was an urban. Started off by making an absolute rookie mistake to 1 by running down the wrong road. Then lost 45sec to 13 by running through the open field which in reality was very rough with nettles and brambles. Everything else was easy, got very bored of all the long legs...I think I know this map too well for it to be tricky route choice.

Felt like I started quite slowly, just couldn't get going for some reason and was struggling up the hill. So was quite far back when we hit the downhill and therefore behind a lot of people. Kept getting mad at guys running really slowly then sprinting when I tried to pass, only to slow down again. Had 2 girls in front of me on the downhill so set about trying to catch them. Managed to get in front just before the final bit through the trees and sprinted hard to stay ahead.
So was very happy to then find out I'd finished in 3rd place and taken 40secs off my time from 2 years ago :)
Most of this was on the downhill as I was 8secs ahead of my time at 2km, so gained another 32secs in the last 2.7km.

First one with Pedley, Tessa and Naoya. Then last 2 solo. Felt rubbish, got slower on each one. Probably cos I barely ate today as Ieft my bag at home. Or still tired from the weeked perhaps.

A very fun 2 days. Nice to do something different from orienteering and hill running for a change.

Ran from Bamburgh Castle to Seahouses. Lots of playing about in the sand dunes and on the rock platforms. There were tracks everywhere through the dunes so it was really fun to run all over the place!
Stopped at Seahouses for fish and chip lunch :)

Was starting to get quite tired towards the end of the run especially when we left the beach and started climbing up towards the B&B. Very grateful for the hot chocolate and cookies and warm house.

This was tough to get out the door to do in the dark by myself. And didn't get any easier once I got going. Legs felt very heavy...probably from all the cycling I've been doing and standing for 7 hours at work.
But glad it's done and times were consistent at least.

Running in a nice group with Pedley, Andrew and Naoya. Although it was just Naoya and I for the last rep. Feeling quite good tonight.
