JK day 2. M40L, 10.3 km, 480 m, 69:24 for 7th (9th overall). An early start today, just as an hour of heavy snow came to an end, so it was out into a white forest. Enjoyed the woods, though the open areas less so. Feeling fairly strong, and just a few bobbles, so a good run. About 6 mins off the pace. Routegadget.

Short warm-up. Had left it late.

JK day 1, Leith Hill. M40L, 9.6 km, 345 m. 64:29 for 10th. Was looking forward to Leith Hill, never having run there before. Enjoyed the technical bits. Happy with the run. A few minutes total of silly errors. Running fairly well - felt good through the woods, though slow uphill as usual! About 7 mins down on the lead (JL). Routegadget.

Warm-up. Jog to start.

Event: JK 2008
 

Met ORCA-George in London and headed for the JK sprint at the University of Surrey. 2.6 km, 17:12 in the 'open' class (entered M21 but didn't make the selection cut). A great area for a sprint - complex buildings, paths. Ran pretty smooth. Didn't spot the shortest route a few times, but it's hard to know when it's worth being slow and looking more at the map. Not running full speed, but that may have been a good thing. Routegadget.

Dunbeg Forest. Showed the others the secret trig point. New inov8s feeling pretty good - heel a wee bit loose.

Commute.

A lunchtime ride up into Dunbeg Forest. Beautiful day.
