Graythwaite event.
Excellent area, nice and technical and tough and great fun!
Ran well, missed a bit on the first long route choice but great from there, pretty clean all the way - hence kicked the M40's butts and was only beaten by and ex World Champs team member - Dicky Wren.
FVO run from Stirling Uni.
Me, Rog, Dave C and Peggy - chose to head to Wallace Monument for a kind of flattish run! Easy banter for me and Rog, followed by pub for just 3 people - a record low!
A mountain bike circular trip to Warkworth village with James W and Janine. Some good sights.
Followed by a group walk with buggy from Caister to Dunstanburgh Castle, Embleton Sands and on to Newton by the Sea - and a refreshing beer!
JK Relays.
FVO's crack M120+ team - Dear Prudence.
Roger, Deano and I (me being the weak link!).
Roger got us off to a great start by flying round with the pack and sending Dixie off just in the lead. Dixie had the best run of the day I reckon by blitzing round his course and annihilating the competition - sending me out with a comfortable 1 minute plus lead.
I wasn't to know though was I !!! Poo'ing my pants most of the way round thinking that SYO would be right on my tail.
I stuck to my strategy - keep it clean and safe and if they catch then maybe I'll have something left. In the end I needed no reserve tank - came up the run-in to applause and I was a happy winner. A most excellent and deserved result from 3 great runs - SYO drubbed! Oh what a day ;-)
