Ras Yr Aran British champs fell race. Steady start through the village, but the pace was too fast for me in the pack as soon as we hit the hill and I went backwards for the first 20 minutes. Pulled myself together after that and started making inroads on casualties from the front pack. Felt good by the summit and pushed on for the descent to take a few more stragglers, which is unusual for me. Finished 10th, 3 mins behind a flying Morgan Donnely. Managed to enjoy it in the end and it was a great route up and down a rocky and boggy ridge. Sat in a cold river after. Nice day out with Pete and Hannah.
Hallamshire session, Hillsborough Park. 2xlong (2.45ish), 2xmedium (2.15ish), 2xshort (1.45ish). Short and sharp, legs tired on the warm up but felt OK for the session.
Early morning run with Piret before her trip back to Eesti. Up Rivelin and back via Den Bank and stables. Warm and muggy, my foot hurt for the first 20 then eased off.

4xloops on Tankersley, lots of controls in the intricate stuff at 1:12500, testing out a magnifier. Got lost on no.1 and had to restart, but got better after that and had a useful time in spite of the nettles, which were big and unpleasant in places. If you swapped them for rocks and brashings it would have been quite relevant for WOC.
