Stretching x1

Stretching x2
London - Munich - Dubrovnik... Beautiful day
Weirdly I keep getting bouts of dizzyness when tipping my head back or sideways sharply... Since Tuesday night

Stretching x1, 1 day to go
Left Achilles is niggling me a bit (has been for the last few mornings)

Stretching x3

Reasonably easy run from the Hilton at Zurich Airport around the Hartwald. Not really feeling it at the begging (I've felt very tired and a little stiff the last couple of days). Found a bit more rhythm though, pushed through some hills and was actually cruising at around 4:30 by the end. Still looking forward to the holiday! 1 day to go!!!

Stretching x3

ITW - Early start, leaving at 7:05 to be in for my important 8am meeting. Although I had bouts of dizzyness over night I generally felt better than expected once moving...

I blame the dizzyness on being lazy for the last few days! :)

HFW - to the Ornamental canal, then bike

Event: London Park Race #11: Bishops Park
 

Stretching x3

Good run overall, but a couple of minor errors cost me
#3 - punched an extra one (5s)
#4 - hesitate as was on wrong side of the wall (5s)
#19 - wrong side of fence (10s)
#22 - tried a locked gate, then hesitated as i didn't at first spot the gap i wanted to run through (10s)
#23 - wrong way round the building (7s)
#30 - exited the wrong way, extra route (5s)

Lots of small errors, but they add up (abput 40-45s... enough in a Sprint). Regardless, I was 2:30 down on Ed when we last raced here two years ago, despite a clean run. Less than 30s this time. A lot of improvement, but still a little short of the pace I want to be at (still dropping on the running legs)

Haven't raced enough this series to rank... shame about thr hifhgate blackout past #12... would have been my best result an 96/97 extra points

Note: distance a guess

Long - Splits

At Ben's
