Peter Palmers weekend.
The 16s were a set of gits, they and I only managed 2hours sleep and they ran like shite.
Today will have to be rest and tomorrow another long.
I really, really haven't enjoyed this weekend and thats the first time I've said this in years.

Swarthmoor Hall, Hill Fort, Urswick ridge, Birkrigg, Mountbarrow, Bardsea Leisure Park. Trying to hold under 140 bpm and it felt like I was jogging on the spot going uphills and dawdling rest of the time. Very wet and sloppy in places where bullocks had churned up the fields.
Found an entry for 3rd June when I did this loop in 1hr25mins - it felt very slow today working on hrm.

On Birkrigg with Florrie. Easy jog/walk.

Investigating different moves with dumbbells.

Wander through sunny Holker Woodlands with Katie.

Walk around Birkrigg putting out kites for UVHS Champs.

Took Will n Angus over to Coniston to run with Black Combe Runners. From behind Sun Inn up Coniston Old Man & Brim Fell. Good turn out and Will n Angus off with Keever & Carl Ed in fast group. I sat in with Pete Tayler & Mc Knowles in middle group. 3 stops and reached the top in 49mins (boys reckon 39mins!). Lovely sunset from top as clouds had cleared. After dropping off Brim Fell back to tarn, group decided to zig-zag through a craggy slope for "easier" running and meant we returned in near dark.

Birkrigg, Scales, Gleaston, Dendron, Dalton, Urswick. Pushing reasonably strongly on uphills and Trek seemed to be flying along. Still a bit of front end wobble but good time.
