Training Log Archive: mikeyA

Got up this morning felt proper feint and everything was blurry, swear I feinted twice :S head still hurting a bit

Decided to start walking my paper round now cos it's too dark so can't even think of that 45 min bike ride in the mornings as training now :(

Had football at lunch but it's not going down as I ended up in goal for almost the whole session :/

Carsington pastures. Did the brown and Finished 15th out of 27 finishers. Winner Peter hodkinson who did 46:26. Rubbish tbh :/ doin alright for the first half then on 27 which was in massive reentrant I missed to far left. Just lost concentration and was stupid really. Lost 2.5 mins. Then next control still not concentrating stopped far too early and was too far left also. Lost 3 mins here. Feeling really tired after this (don't want to say but lack of training??) and felt slow for the next 1-2km. Paul and Simon bradders beat me and my dad grrrr :/

C • TRAIN! 3

Parkrun :) best time beat the one I did for cairngorms by 35 secs. Finished 4th again

12 min run in PE. Got 2888m which was a* parently :) best in class got a massive blister on bottom of foot tho cos I lost a shoe halfway cos I didn't tie the laces properly :S

Bleep test. Got to level 13.1 whatever that means ;) got full marks so just sorta stopped there

Practice split over two sessions.

Event: Dales Weekend
 

Dales w/e day 1. Fairly decent run. Lost maybe 30 secs at 1 running to far and having to come back up the hill again. Lost maybe a minute at 12, stopping too early and messing about there. Saw were 13 was so able to relocate off that. Cained 13 tho :) hoping fastest split :) 3rd behind Joe and aliastar. Beat riggy by 8 secs tho :)

C • I'll have you tomorrow ;) 5

Some tournament that was happening. Destroyed, scored 5 goals and top scorer ;) team 2nd

Peter palmers relay. Leg 1. Did rubbish :( after 1st spectator was only 30 secs down on leader and actually caught them up on the second loop. Then went and lost 1 min thinking I was on a lower building when we were on the higher one. Lost the leaders here. Came through spectator 2, 1 min down. Then on the last loop lost maybe 4 mins. 1 control got on the wrong group of trees lost 30 secs. The 27 I think lost 2 mins. Was insanely stupid and messed about in completely the wrong place. Didn't even look like where I was meant to be :/ stupid. Lost another min and a half on 28 where I ran the wrong way out the previous control. And got lost. Came back 10th just under 5 mins down. Could have and should have been with the front group. Team ended up 2nd but beat OD still :D felt like I let the team down as I felt like I left them too much to have to do :/

Event: City of London Race
 

Event: Peter Palmer Relays
 

London city race :) finished 2nd behind Dane. Had a alright run and didn't find the barbican too hard :) really hesitant tho going into it due to what people had been saying about it. Lost 45 secs on 9 by just getting confused as to where I was. Wasn't even in the technical bit! Lost another 40 sec on bad route choice at 14. Lost maybe another 1 min through
hesitation too. Could have won :( thanks to Adam for keeping me company on my birthday :)

Event: Lincoln City Race
 

Lincoln city race. Had a clean run and felt fine running and thankfully wasn't as slippy as I thought due to rain :) gutted that i never saw the lift and go up that tho :( won my course bout 45 secs ahead of Will P but beat Karen and Katherine too :)

Event: Sheffield City Race
 

Sheffield city race. Came 1st. Had a good run. Only the one mistake maybe losing 30 secs at 15 by running down the wrong path and getting confused. Beat Will 'the duck man' Parkinson by 2 mins who was second :) good course too :)
