W-u

JK Kilnsey. Main objective was not to blow the almost 5' lead, but wanted to give it all I could. Went well and pleased with how I made myself work on the two long fell run legs. Then at the second last control I rushed and didn't read the map, resulting in a 2' mistake. Disappointing to spoil a great run, but TOTALLY ECSTATIC to win by 5' :-))

Jog to start and some dynamic w-u

JK at Wass. Tough. Lots of steep climbs and descents with nasty slimey stream crossings. Found the map difficult to read - couldn't see the rides in the light green near the start and fumbled the first control. After that got everything pretty clean but it didn't feel very smooth. Tried to keep grinding it out as hard as pos. Pleased with performance.
Note - comparing black on my map with Js, the printing was shocking. I know others had the same problem too.

C • I would have thought a 4m50... 3

JK sprint. Leeds Uni. Quite tricky. Had to control speed to ensure enough time to get the routes right. Managed to keep it smooth with only a couple of hesitations of a few secs. Really pleased with that.

C • So you should be with a 1m ... 2

With J from Kinker along to Potties and back. Included 8 x 30"+30" strides on the way back. Not feeling very bouncy yet.

Hanging and collecting some markers at after-school club

Jog round Dess to replace a few QR codes. Pleasantly surprised how well they've survived the winter.

Jog across woods to check some MOBO sites

To green and back the long way

6x1'+1'. Gradually got into them and got a bit further on the last couple.

Home to Kinker, P'murchie, back road above T'phins to Campfield and back by C'lash quarry. Road closed sign on the C'lash road but I ignored it and luckily managed to bump through the roadworks without causing any agro. Not feeling very lively but nice to be out on the bike again.
