Training Log Archive: Frostbite

Adel Crag. Feeling a bit sore from yesterday. Chugged along alright for about 40 minutes then got slower and slower. Nice sunny day, mostly dry underfoot. The council have vandalised the path through Scotland Wood, turning it from a pleasant trod through the trees into a stony track wide enough for a car.

YHOA Sprint champs, RAF Linton-on-Ouse, prologue. Can't run fast enough, but got round with only a couple of minor hesitations and one hunt the thimble where I couldn't make out the shape of a wall/mound/fence thing.

YHOA Sprint champs, chasing final. Chaotic butterfly loops made this a bit tricky, totally lost track of where I was going on the map at one point which cost be a few seconds, and exited the tennis courts at the wrong corner because the gate at the right corner looked shut. It wasn't. Briefly got ahead of Dave Murgatroyd but he came back past and pulled away steadily. Got back at him a little at the second last going the other side of the buildings, but not enough to catch him.

Butcher Hill, Woodside, Cookridge, Adel. Started a bit slow, picked up after Woodside and worked quite hard up Tinshill Lane. Cruised home down the hill.

Stepping Stones. Feeble.

Adel Church, 5 mins jog, 8 x 3 min fast, 1 min slow. Not moving as well as last time. A definite negative improvement. Go back to Otley Old Road.
