Middle race at Forest X. Had a 27.22 warm up running uphill to the area, then did 46.40 for a 5km ish course. Was all over the place at the beginning, 1:7500 map scale and quite un confident, then after going from 4-9 kicked myself into shape, spiked 5 and it was all great from there. Running well, navigating well, simplyfying with ease and visualising the circle well. Awesome. Then 16.38 run back down the hill to the cars. Great fun.

For the afternoon ran up the Old Man of Coniston. 49 minutes up with a couple of waits for the others. Feeling strong and quite mountain goatish, though the last steep climb was severe pain! The only good day of the week weather wise and beautiful views in the golden end of daylight at the end. Quicker run down, quite hard on the knees, but worth every step. Just a shame I forgot my camera.
