NWJS Traitors Gill - Faffing with the kids.

Dunerdale Fell Race - Pretty amazing to be racing this after the year I have had.
Started at the back, but felt okish up the road and onto the fell. Kept pushing the second climb until we hit the fell road. Shower of small hail stones made seeing very difficult with glasses for next 10 minutes. Started shipping places after Stickle and lost 3 o4 minutes on run back in. At one point just had to stop on flat as couldn't get enough oxygen through my lungs! Ended 6 minutes down on last year which is a result.
Angus did amazing with 44:40 for 17th, Will 45:02 for 21st.

Kirkby Moor - short loop over Out Park, across to Gunson Height & down Shooting House Hill. Very steady in blustery conditions trying out new VJ Stickys.
And found garmin so able to judge heart rate :-). 135 recovery on the flat & downhill and 150+ on first two climbs, higher on final slope back to the car.

Bowness Warloc. Rainy night and I found it really difficult to read the control circles and numbers on the map. A couple of silly errors, once into the olive green of a housing complex, and once looking for a crag by misreading the descriptions when they stated fence :-(. Still shuffling at the end, and Hollie, Will n Angus all managed a good evening training.

UVHS session with Graham, Jack, Tilly & Fiona. Steady to start, then 3 x 1min efforts with 15secs recovery, then jog back up through Croftlands to school.

Down in Melksham for Thelma's cremation.
