Running 30:00 [3]
shoes: Saucony Cohesion
Warm up for Classic race. Was difficult to get onto the model map as a lot of vegetation, and stomach not feeling good at all. Despite feeling fine when I ran yesterday there was fresh blood again afterwards, and during warming up on Saturday, so warm up was restricted to a bit of jogging and a small amount of strides.

WOC Selection Classic race. Far better than yesterday in that I felt in control most of the time, and coped much better with the mistakes I made. Looking at Helen's splits I lost time on:
2, where I was clinging to the paths (although as this helped to build my confidence I'm not sure that's a bad thing)
7 (not sure how),
10 where I was on the wrong side of the open depression, relying too much on compass then contour/ground features
13 overly cautious path clinging again
18 Rough compass out to path/veg boundary brought me out far too far to the right, relocated straight away but significantly off course
19 Managed to cross a path without realising and go too far down the path running south, so ended up nearer number 20 and having to cut back across the slope
22 Path clinging again, getting tired
All in all I felt relatively positive about the course, physically it felt good aside from a little struggle in the butterfly, but again was disappointed with my result. I guess the good thing was that the mistakes were all higher technique errors, as opposed to basic "I have no idea where I am errors" that I've been getting recently, and so it felt better, but there was still considerable time loss. Still, a big improvement mentally on yesterday's race.
Stomach was awful on finishing, couldn't warm down as was all cramped it and fresh blood again.
