Running warm up/down 12:00 [2]
Weight has dropped to around 148lbs (67.2kg) - BMI 21.5, not been this lean for a couple of decades.
11 AM
Running race 57:10 [5]
Wisley - SN Trophy
I didn't enjoy the O today, however the social and weather were great. In wrong frame of mind to race and considered not doing a course, tried 5 mins meditation in car that helped. Mistakenly was slotted in at same time as Alistair, I started 30s later (unaware anyone was off at the same time) but caught him at 2 and was shadowed round for most of the next 16 controls, I reached the controls first and got away a couple of times.
Made some big errors and some were unusual:
6. (- 2.30) Cut corner 40m too early (idiot) and then found hill with gullies (wrong one).
8. (1.00) confused in path junctions - says something about mental state today!
9. (1.00) turned up one path too early!
18. (3.30) recrossed over bank without realising.
21. (20s) my last control was folded over so I was reading second to last code!
Early start (helper) - lots of bracken flattening and curved routes.
Felt tired and was using quads and picking up feet/knees too high rather than using calves.
Checked results - worst forest ranking event of 2011.

Running 20:00 [1]
Taping controls for over 2hrs.
Ran out of fuel. Gauges have been playing up this week on car. Filled up and thought the petrol pump was wrong when it read 0.5 litre more than tank capacity. Wrong - I'd run out of fuel, it took a few minutes to restart the engine. At least it wasn't race day with a boot full of controls.

Stretching/extensions 5:00 [1]
Ankle sorer than recently, full length race seems to have blown out some cobwebs.
Aqua Running intervals 35:00 [4]
7 x 3mins (45s off) in 2 sets (4 then 3) 90s bw sets.
Meant to be 8 reps but cut short, became so tired couldn't keep track of anything. Got muscle balance right today. Really good session, worth a 4 for intensity.
