SOL at Auchingarrich.
not feeling too good upon arrival and didn't really want to go out.
I think I was a bit ill but not knowingly....
Ran OK until I got lost in the middle - map didn't fit. then lost motivation a bit. Not until I downloaded before I realised I'd picked up the wrong map! Blummin' stupid colour system!
British Sprint Champs on Stirling Uni x 2.
First course too easy after first few controls so was never gonna win that one, second course, navigated too much rather than running so go beaten again!
2nd placed on M35 behind Dave Godfree (still running elite).
Pretty happy with that.
A JWOC Gold and both having top 20s in the Worlds!
FVO evening run from Uni. Headed out to Bridge of Allan to avoid the University, up into the Minewoods and slowly back from there. A steady run on a beautiful evening. Banter at Westerton after.
FVO intervals.
For the first time this year we headed up to the Uni football pitches for some Speed!
15 x 30 on, 60 off. Boy it was fast!
My body was complaining and I twinged an achilles in the 3rd from last so cruised from there.
A beautiful setting, glorious evening, good banter.
On the Sunday we travelled all the way back to Gothenberg and stayed in a flat arranged by the legend that is Didsco. Top flat, smart and cosy and we were able to sleep through till 11am.
We couldn't spend a day in Gothenerg without a trip to one of the JWOC areas so we all jogged out to the middle area and ran the H20 Final course of the middle. i must say that I really enjoyed the area - it was good visibility at this time of year (no leaves) and there had been plenty of elephant tracks around the area. I ran clean until a wobble at the 2nd to last but really enjoyed it. Sore shin from putting my foot down a hole, but OK.
