Training Log Archive: Craney

Team Monday with bumper turn out. Through AC and AP to Failand. Then a bit of road running back to AC which I tried to get over with as quick as possible. And a nice jaunt back from there. Tim let out a huge sigh of relief at the finish.

Event: Compasssport Cup Final - Burbage
 

1st on the Brown, BOK came 2nd to SYO (boo hiss). Pretty good run - not too tired at the finish as I never felt like I was going continuously hard for very long - wading through deep heather/bracken (and getting a tight hamstring from having to lift my right leg so unnaturally high) and having to find these here flag things interrupted things a bit. I started ok through Houndkirk and Lady Cannings. Put the boot in and got a good lead on the long leg to #7 (round the sheep trods to the right seemed to work well). I didn't do the rest of the course great though - didn't extend the lead at all from that point on. Dropped bits of time on #8 (bad line), #10 (bad route), #11 (bad line), #13 (dodgy control site - lost ~1min) and #15 (being a spaz, lost ~45secs). Still, job done, glad Oli and GG weren't there.

Lovely day though and good to be back up on t'moors. LJ's for the traditional cumberland sausage and gravy after. Mmmmm.

Testing out a couple of courses on AC for the event Gracie and I are planning on 27th November. Got in a bit of a boo with the quality of the map.

HFW via Downs, Sneyd Park, Shitehampton GC and KW hill. Fun times.

Fairly long HFW via AC having dumped bag in the car. After AC headed on out to Gordano Round territory and on and across the M5 bridge. Got quite dark as I came back along KW hill. A little nippy.

HFW via AC carrying bag. Felt quite good. Then picked up Gracie and jogged down to Coombe Dingle for the BOK club night which was a 45min street score. Alas this was of the quiz variety with many controls which meant lots of stop-starting, confusion and getting quite cold quickly. I enjoyed it, but I'm unusual. I hope there weren't any newcomers.

IW via Purdown and the city farm. Saw the piggies this time.
