British Longs - Kilnsey North
(Sorry for the essay haha didn't realise it would be that long)
I spiked most controls and nav seemed pretty good for the majority. However again like Northern it was the second day od my period and I just didn't want to be running. I felt like I had loads to prove and was getting quite nervous about the whole day. Throughout the run I had the worst cramps and random stabbing pains that made it even more difficult.
Mistake at 3 when I was just a bit wobbly coming off the crossing point and approaching the control. Pretty much spiked the rest but had no energy to run. Lots of walking and little bits of jogging. Ran all the downhill sections around 7, 8 & 9.
Then at 12 I had a massive spontaneous mood swing and I actually started really enjoying myself.
Just a bit gutted again about my speed & strength but I've kinda just accepted there's not much I can do about it until after GCSEs and when my body is in a fit state to train. Some pretty poor performances from me at all events recently just because I'm not strong enough to get round :(
