Day 1 Long Distance of the Ciudad Rodrigo at El Bodon, Spain.
Great runnable terrain with a bit of vegetation but not much to slow your running. Very enjoyable but not the best of runs as a bit scrappy getting used to this new type of very fast, technical terrain. Number 3 and 7 lost a lot of time as compass direction and distance judgment just went out of the window.
Not happy as I know I should work on these small mistakes from now on.

Only 28 seconds behind the Spanish No. 1 M16 so good running overall.

C • Monday 4

Sprint around the old central part of Ciudad Rodrigo. Nice running but made one fairly major mistake at number 3. I couldn't read the map well around the control circle so got the levels wrong.

Cycling to school for progress day (basically a day off).

C • Days off 2

Cycled the same way back, along an old railway line. Easy but pushed up the last hills. Pretty dead by the end but nice ride (Apart from the fact I got absolutely soaked with mud by the end!).

Good session with a lot of tough but nicely physical intervals around football grounds.

WU - Felt ok but not amazing

5 x 200m sprints
(Twice)

6 x 80m sprints at 100%; absolutely dead.

WD - Legs feeling like jelly but enjoyed it nonetheless.

MTB around tough Blackheath and Albury. Good strength training

Nice loop around roads and sandy tracks.

C • British schools log? 3

British Schools Champs at New Beechenhurst.
Good race with minimal time loss so I am fairly happy. Only real time lost was attacking number 8, losing around 20-30 seconds due to not clear attackpoint off the path. Some parts i lost time just due to terrain runnability being low so not the best around number 6 and 10.

Well done Jim and Joe for good runs and a healthy competition!
