Mixed Sprint Relay - Bradford Uni
Absolutely loving life, first leg MSR is just the most fun :) But also a good reminder of the *many* things I need to work on over the next year - getting boxed in at the start and not getting on top of the control flow until I was on the way to 4 wasn’t ideal & meant a lot of energy trying to fight back to the front (nice to have some acceleration back to be able to do this though!). Checked my descriptions & still got number 6 wrong (but very unconvinced by it). Then went through a really good patch (notably when there were fewer people around) where I was reading ahead and totally in control. Big mistake to 11 though :-( I didn’t see the gap between the buildings (probs oxygen debt) & went for the “crossable wall” that I couldn’t physically cross because it was so high. Easily binned 20sec faffing about and went from 1st to 3rd. Then it was a bit of a physical struggle back up the hill hanging onto Mary for the final loop. Very happy that I could run hard for about 2/3 of this before dying though - big improvements on the JK feels when it just felt unpleasant the whole way :-)
Also got those really good sprint vibes for the first time in ages!
Not sure why my HR was so low....?
