JK day 2, Leith Hill. 11th/142. JT 1st, DP 4th, BD 12th.
Lost maybe 60 secs in thickets at 7 and then bad error at 10, losing 3 mins plus. Came out of 9 at slightly wrong angle, ended up in wrong block of paths. Very confused. Alastair Doyle caught me back up and we ran hard nip and tuck for rest of course. Should have gone straight instead of round at 15 -lost another minute. Easily 5 mins lost and 5 mins down..thats the way it goes.

JK Day 1 sprint.
Nicely planned race around Surrey Uni. Ran well except for coming out of 2 the wrong way and maybe losing 30 secs by ending up running around whole series of buildings that I shouldn't have.
Ended up 1m 19s behind Colin Dickson in 11th/105. Would have struggled with his time in any circumstance.
K won W16. D dq'd. T 18th.

Walk 1:00:00 [1]
Wandering again...up to Piazza Maggiore and then the Colosseum and back. Another 4 hours I guess.
Road Running 35:00 [3]
shoes: Reebok Premier RoadPlus
9 bridges of the Tiber. From Ponte Mazzini south to Ponte Sublicio, north on the other side up to Ponte S. Angelo, crossed over again and back. Rome's busy everywhere except beside the river where you could fit a two lane motorway along the embankment. Hardly anyone there except for the few down and outs camping under the bridges. Nice sunset over St Peters.

Another 5 hours. Vatican City this time, climbed about 500 steps up to summit of dome of St Peters. Cracking views. No running today me thinks.

Road Running 35:00 [3]
shoes: Reebok Premier RoadPlus
WIth K we risked it running round the city! Crossed the Tiber, ran up a few dead ends then found a way up the Gianicolo to Piazza Garribaldi, admired floodlit St Peters and view over city at dusk, then another dead end on way to botanics. Finished by a short stretch along beside Tiber. Fun..needed to be careful on cobbles though!

Walk 2:00:00 [1]
4 hours of walking round Rome. City covered in gold asics blankets as marathon was on..high class won in 2.09, 2.22. Managed Piazza Venezia, Colosseum, Circo Massimo and Isola Tiberia. Great alleways fro a street race but lethal with the smartcars and vespas.
