Event: Scottish Championships
 

Basically during this race I managed to hurt my ankle even more then struggled the rest of the year with deteriorating fitness, several bad illness spells, until ultimately by 2011 I was healthy but utterly lazy.

I really should have recorded all of this - but it was all very frustrating at the time. I'll progressively go back and fill in events/training that I have information about - but really I'm writing this on 28/04/11 when I'm trying to get into proper training again and record these on AP.

Cycle out and back from UCD for tag.

1 h - Tag rugby - Team was so bad that I barely got to run, so wasn't even remotely tired. Not fun.

Was a draining day at college today but, so was tired enough from that. In good news, while I was playing Ireland got through in the Eurovision!

IMRA race

Had the ankle well-taped so had no worries about that...until it started coming loose near the peak. Then I was nervous about it, but it held up enough for the duration of the course. Stupid non-Leuko version.
Managed to run a decent race though. Felt good for the mostpart, and there was a happy surprise of water at the peak. Mmm.
Should have easily taken 4th, but lost a position in the final few hundred metres as I struggled to run with a stitch for over a km. Rookie rookie mistake.

Squeezed in an enjoyable spin around Howth (tough uphill but followed by a fuuuuuuuuun downhill) between work and Eurovision Semi. Time management at its best.

C • Latvia! 2

Tag rugby - 1 h - friendly match

My first effort at a match. It would probably be fair to put this down as a speed session. Got pretty tiring. Found I can attach alright, but I amn't great at grabbing the tags in defence.
Also manged to destroy my legs. Skirts will not be my friend for at least a week.

Cycling to the Phoenix Park for the tag match.
