Event: British Long Champs
 

Loved it. 8 mins+ of mistakes but loved it. 90 secs at 7, another 80 at 10,and 4 mins in the green at 18 were the biggies.

Worrying calf twinges half way round but fortunately didn't get worse during the race. 8th, Dixie 1st, JR 2nd, CD 3rd and DP 9th.

Calf stiffened up badly afterwards.

T 7th, C 10th and K 2nd.

C • Iron out the mistakes ... 3

warm up warm down

To work. got to get the piggdekks off the bike though now; at least everyone can hear me coming.

Bike home..tracks drying out now.
No Nydalen 7-70 tonight for us - done enough...flight tomorrow.

Bike on a nice morning to work

Bike home

Up to Båntjern on beautifully clear night. All the snow and ice is off the trails and the flattened grass makes quite a change of view. Lights of Oslo looked good tonight. Båntjern still was white though.

warm up and down on top of Ekeberg.

Another blast. 30s+ error at 3 otherwise pretty good. 85 secs down in H50 - 5th/34 - that's better. Hey only 4.5 mins down on Lundanes and 2 down on Bjerkheim-Nilsen, but then again they won JWOC(s) and I'm an H50 punter. Lundanes is running 4.5 min kms and I do 6. Roll on Culbin.

T broke 9 mins/km

Warm up warm down

Felt much better. Ran ok, apart from 7 where I lost 6 mins - ran right past control in technical area and kept going. Also lost a minute at 10. Much happier with the techy bits though. Still 12 minutes down and 22/51...think 48 mins and top 10 was certainly doable. It's difficult to comprehend the speed over the ground though of some of the top H50s here though. Not only are they incredibly fit and fast but they do it in the most intricate and unrelenting of terrain. Still ..we're heading in the right direction I hope!
