British Middle Champs at Strensall Common, York.
Florrie had a good first half and then a couple of silly mistakes.
Angus had a breakthroug race, 2nd on M16A, hopefully boost his confidence.
I started steady and had a reasonable run, just hesitant on one leg as I tired in the heather.
Saturday training with Lecky on Blakeholme. Lovely sunny day. Took Angus along. Beginnings of this virus coming out so very easy. Helped Katie Lewis for a couple of controls.

Checking Stile positions on Helsington Barrows as have become "Assistant Organiser".
Couldn't find any red pegs!
Snotty nose this morning.
Sunny.
Out with John Bett along A590 to Bouth where we met Iain. Through Bouth to Haverthwaite X-roads and along mosses to Cark. Every time we went up an incline I was off the back so I baled in Flookburgh and rode to Cartmel along the Bigland ridge and down to Haverthaite again. Stopped and saw Bob n Mary.
Started out from Haverthwaite Lane Ends with Old Gits up onto the Heights. First stop on top of the heights where group split. I was left with Dick Towler, first searching for his car keys, then Andrew (who had takend a short cut), and we never managed to catch up with the rest despite doing full loop of Brow Edge road, Trundle Brow, Fishhouse Lane, Roudsea Wood and Estuary.
Very dehydrated at end - stumbling for last 20mins. Beginnings of a virus?
