Marlay. Thighs/hamstrings still sore - but not restricting stride today. Still have residual muc. Two heavy rain showers at the 2 possible run times yesterday - no run.
Year review: Similar to last year - Track was overall disappointing. A PB of 1:53.42 in the National Final was good, but it wasn't by much. The fact that it was from lane 2 and I had a calf injury the week prior probably says I could have gone much quicker: but had disappointing runs in the Dundrum Sports and BLE gala after. Also did a 400m PB (50.5) at the National League. 2nd in the Eastern Region was OK, as as the win at the BHAA 800m and Trinity Relays.
Orienteering - not a great year - 4th Irish Champs, three 3rds - the Irish 2 Day, NI and of the Irish at the Trossachs the best. Two hill race wins - Ballybraid and Kippure.
Shoulders, back, hamstrings, groin and quads all tight. Struggled around, still quite W.
Cold started on Xmas day - muc cleared to transparent by today, but still have to deep cough to shift residual muc. So must have caught Felicity's viral laryngitis at the party on Monday which didn't show symptoms till later.
Speed training. 80 x 2 (1) in 9.6. 100m x 2 (2 min) in 12.3, 12.2. 200m x 2 (3 min) in 26.6, 26.7. Pulse hadn't recovered for 200s still 140 so tied up.
