ahr:140 max:161
Another great run with Magic - the Tour of Grantown - small paths and terrain for most of it. I started to struggle after 75 minutes - mainly my breathing because of my chesty cough, became a shuffle by the end!
Good training!

A good terrain and small path run anti-clockwise round Anagach with Magic. It was hard and tough for me (level 3 in the falling category). Top session - called for a takeway chinese!

ahr:155 max:213
A run home with Marcus from the Green Labirynth (fab place!). A spectacular run along the ridges with many a fine view of the pyrenees and low hills in the setting sun - best run of the week (and it was all downhill!).

Run 23:48 [0] 4.66 km (5:06 / km) +92m 4:39 / km
Team Sprint race round the old City of Carcassonne. Absolutely fabulous place. Far too busy to race round (like Venice I suspect) but very interesting and authentic. Came back 6th in the open relay on first leg (beaten by Celine Dodin), then Faye came back in 9th and Marcus pulled us back up to 6th. Mmmmm crepes!
A fab thing to do - happens every 2 years apparently....

Night O event at La Cavayere - a few km east of Carcassonne.
despite Marcus reminding me (and his Mum lending me her gaitors) I forgot to avoid the green and green stripes far to often! And spent hours looking for one control. 3rd M40 but couldn't have beaten the top guy.
Enjoyed it despite my wild protestations immediately after.

A run to the infamous Rennes-le-Chateaux (which you can see from Matthew's bedroom window). Mentioned in many a Cathar novel because of the infamous Abbot Saunier who build a great chapel and Chateaux but no-one knows where he got his dosh (secret treasures).
We took Matthew for a sight-see 2 days later - an interesting wee place.

A run with Magic and Greg (Hull) from Marcus's parent's house.
Some great trails. Cold still slowing me down, but generally it's the distinct lack of fitness - thakfully Greg going easy and Marcus iller than me.

Run 30:00 [3]
A quick run after work - failed to get out at lunch time (too busy tying up loose ends before holiday).
Round the houses and over to Barbush and then along the river (bumped into Sue Ledbeater and dog - married in the summer). Then weedled my way back and through Hilton Hotel.
Very wheezy - not able to run hard (don't want to just yet).

Event: Compass Sport Cup Final
Run 1:20:00 [3]
Compass Sport Trophy.
Still too wheezy to race so ran steady trying to keep my heart race under 170. So walked the steep climbs and jogged the others. Very runnable area and enjoyable so the time flew by.
FVO - 5th time-in-a-row winners!

Terrain Run 1:12:00 [1] 7.0 km (10:17 / km)
My first venture out after a bad cold.
A nice and very easy muddy run with Marcus and Mark Holliday in Polmaise. A bit too easy for Marcus but just what I was needing - still wheezy. Topped off with an eat-all-you-can Mexican at the Pirnhall ;-)

Still full of cold.
Won't be able to take class tonight - will need a volunteer.
Better avoid film night also so as not to "spread the lurrrrrrrrrg".

Orienteering 45:00 [3]
Jon's Stag Relay.
Planned so that Jon would get wet with lots of river crossings. As it happened we all got wetter than he did.
Good to see he was incoherent and unable to control himself last night (for the last 30 minutes of an 8 hour bender!).
