Training Log Archive: Cat T

Have to catch up a bit on my log. Didn't mean to neglect it while i'm here but it's been chaos, trying to enjoy myself but so much work, late night tonight to meet my deadline :-O

Anyway i forgot how scary it feels to stand on the startline for a championship with adrenaline up above my head and cameras ahead and behind. started with a bit of a shaky feeling, impossible to feel like youre moving well across the slippery hills between fallen trees. but quite cleanly round the first few, just minor devitions and hesitations. caught and overtook Vendula and then Charlotte, had to slide down a crag and got my map covered in blood and mud and so had to just run a couple of the legs on compass cos i couldn't see the features. suddenly there were only 4 controls left but i dropped (estimated) 30s ish each on three of them. so i knew i would regret that later and went to give myself a good talking to/hide from the commentary until the race was done. came back to find it was fifth. so so close, but at least equalling scotland woc for championship middle success. it's been a while. good to be back!

cant say enough how much it was giving me flashbacks of mulgrave. pretty much the same feeling.
