Event: London Night Series #3: Ham Riverside
 

Core x 20

An enjoyable run even though my navigation wasn'tgreat.
Hit hte first 3 well, hesitation and RC to 4 weren't good. Slightly confused at 5 but only lost 20 seconds. Lots of tracks around 6 but not too bad then 7 was further south than i think it should be. Doubled back and went north eventually losing 2 minutes.
Got caught by an unmapped path to 9 but the rest was fine.
Nice to eventually do one of the Night O with other runners around me for fun.

C&C x 20.

Event: Southern Championships
 

An average run overall but annoyingly made mistakes at #17 and 21.
Started off ok and got into the 1:15 by #3. The long leg to #6 was really nice and got lucky in the circle at #10 where it's hard to see the detail even on a 1:10.
Caught a young lad up at #14 and I started to get scrappy. I should have concentrated on my own navigation but seemed to be on the look out to where he was rather than my next control. This led to a stupid error at #17 where I dropped 1.30.
I took quite a straight route to #18 through the marsh and this turned out well. I slowed down in the control pick but misread my ditch for a thicket at #21 so found 2 others before mine(2 minutes). I should have gone around the outside that late into the race but shit happens.
I got away with it on the M40 competition but was disappointed that I wasn't further up the results on the course.

Course 4 - Splits

Drills. It was all kicking off in the pool with the triathletes this morning. Very entertaining.

Around Putney checking sites for the Street O.

Technique session on the trainer.

10 sets of 200 fs and 66 pull.
The pull was good to put in there to keep good form on the front end. I tried to go off 15 seconds each time but the pool was busy so this didn't always happen.

Legs ok but new jacket, goooood.

Drills followed by 6 x 100
Much better.

Popped up to Burnham Beeches before parents evening to go around the Green course from last year. Not very nice as it was mostly around the holly bushes.
