(rest day)
Learned from the previous day and didn't waste time with the morning, woke up at 12.30pm just in time for breakfast in front of the Grand Prix.
Have been feeling worn out for weeks and trip for Jukola etc just about finished me off - hopefully a lazy weekend with lots of sleep will have sorted me out, looking to feel a bit more spritely than recently in my running next week, just in time for Portugal. Ankle always permitting of course....

Running 23:58 [3]
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline Jan 2008
Went for a jog to test out my ankle. Not good, worse than expected, def no hill racing for me on Saturday, more like a struggle to get it properly sorted for WMOC starting next weekend.

Running race 31:30 [5] 4.0 km (7:53 / km) +426m 5:08 / km
shoes: Inov8
Ben Sheann hill race, latest in the Bog and Burn series
No problem with adrenaline for this race, was at a work thing in Perthshire and it took forever to drive to Strathyre, thought I was going to miss the start. Abandoned my car in the bus stop, changed hastily and legged it down to the start. Got there with two mins to spare, so much for warming up properly for a race witha brutal climb straight off the start.
Felt okay but started a bit quickly, checked my watch when I started to feel it in my legs and we had been going for nearly 4 mins! Rosco and Dixie were ahead, but Brad passed me easily, then Jack B caught and passed me near the top. Stalker B caught me too but true to his name stayed right behind me all the way to the summit.
Got into it again on the descent despite getting stung by two wasps (ouch!) but Stalker was tracking me, couldn't get away and together we caught Jack. Flying down the steep bits and almost fell a couple of times, right ankle got compressed at one point and hurt A LOT. Got past Jack and thought I was away, got to the final short straight and could hear someone closing me down - was sure it was Stalker so put on a desperate sprint, flashed across the line just ahead of them and turned round to find it was someone else entirely!
Good FVO turn out for a fun race, Abii in particular couldn't work out whether it was the ascent or the descent she had enjoyed more. A mixed bag of performances, Jamie Jnr was 2nd to Prasad, Brad almost but not quite got back to Dixie on the descent, and Abii and Elle will never get so close to John Stevenson again....
And most importantly of all I am now ahead of Lard in the Bog and Burn series!
