Planner for the sprint O at Braemar. As we weren't exactly rushed off our feet I decided to have a run round myself. Legs felt very sore especially climbing up the hill to no 3. Just managed to beat Sasha - phew ;-}

Slioch Hill Race. Hot sunny day and humid too - not best conditions for a long race. Never felt comfortable. Even on the way out along the loch I was looking for excuses to wimp out, but I couldn't come up with any decent ones, so had to carry on. The climb was grim and brought back memories of a scary winter ascent a few years ago, when we took the same direct route. By the top my legs were too shafted to take advantage of the nice running on the ridge. Descent was also grim - too steep to attack with tired legs. Actually almost enjoyed the first 10 minutes or so back along the lochside, until I realised there was another 20 to go. Reasonably happy with my time although I never felt I was racing.

Tried to do a warm up, but it was so hot and humid it was making me feel worse.

Rest Day
Meeting in Stirling and resting up for Slioch tomorrow

Jogged over to the far side of Dess woods to do some sprints, then jogged back again. Still feeling tired. Hope I perk up by Saturday.

10 x 30" + 30" sprints. Felt like hard work.

Still no classes, so trying to do a bit more practice at home.

Didn't do usual session, but a bit of work for my back which has been niggling a bit today.

Lunchtime round Hazlehead. Steady with a few fast bursts. Legs feel a lot better but still feeling generally tired.
Hand is much less swollen today - could even stir the porridge this morning.

Steady run round Hazlehead. Legs are still very tired.

Rest Day
Gentle walk at Dinnet with 3 generations of Musgraves - just about right for today.
Hand swole up overnight and is hurting when I try and do anything with it. Think I might have cracked a bone.
