Stretching x1, a good night's sleep, but still not feeling well

Stretching x2

Still not feeling great so struggled on the climbs where I frequently broke into a walk. Even the flats werr hard work at times. Lost the path a little at the end. Although it would have been considerably faster if healthy, I lead from the start and finished with a 6mins lead. Also avoided being blown off the cliff

Feeling seriously under the weather...

HFW - feeling the early onset of a cold

Event: London Park Race Series 2015, #8
 

Stretching x1
Mile End Parkrace day - only the second time ever I've planned a race and (despite the 10min start delay) it seemed to go quite well. All the controls were (and remained) in the right place and the immediate feedback I got was that people found the course interesting.

The general objective was to use the variety of area, with the campus, park and major uncrossable features, to create a race with something for everyone: sprint, routechoice, and some classic park sections. Although the courses were slightly long, I hope that variety kept people entertained throughout.

Big thank you to all the helpers on the day. Lots of volunteers as usual meant things ran smoothly. I could name people but I'd just leave someone out. Thanks all for the help in making it happen on the day

Stretching x3

Easy jog around the city from the office. Using the M40 map from the last Cityrace (but cutting off some of the controls)
