Mynydd Llangatwg event (Wales).
Good area - quite runable with lots of pits and big depressions. The brown course was quite easy though and the good visibility added to that. I still lost time though... 1min at c1 (couldn't see the rockface), and 1.5mins at c15 (parallel error, too early). Was fun :) Nice day too.

Midland Road Relays, Sutton Park. 3rd leg in the Bristol & West AC women's team (6 per team). 'short 5km with hills'.
B&W only had one women's team competing, and due to a few injured runners I was put in it :s The first two girls were pretty damn good and sent me out in 3rd place...(!). I tried to take it steady on the first hill and then go hard from there. Got passed by a girl who ended up running the course 2mins quicker (setting her team up for the overall win) so I couldn't really help that. Kept waiting for a pack of girls to overtake me but it never happened!! We dropped to 5th in the next leg then back to 4th in the next, then our killer anchor leg Rebekah ran 16.45 and we got bronze! (32 teams).
It wasn't that cold and I only ran in a vest (vest = singlet). Later the weather closed in and it was absolutely wet cold and minging. Matt and the boys (team of 12) got bronze too so it was a rewarding day out!

15mins warm-up, 30min jog cool-down - trying to remember where my course went at the CSC final in 08 (I was jogging around the gorsey area).

Long week plus it was raining so I gave myself a running leave pass.

Baby session - 12 x 30s (30s), Henleaze.

up/down/recs.

Henleaze, Clifton, WoT. I think I saw at least 70 runners/joggers. The downs are like this massive jogger-magnet (but also heaps of runners in the streets too).

2mins,3,4,2,3,4,2,3,4 (1min rec). Dingle, Sneyd Park, Stoke Bishop.

And recoveries.

Did some study.
