Recovery run with Natalie to the top of Bigland, was a really clear day so we could see all the way to Morecombe to the South across the bay, and up into the snowy high fells to the North :) It was fairly chilly, and we may have stopped at the top for a rest and a natter, but to compensate we incorporated some (interesting) drills into the run back down

First leg- First place :P
After the past 3 days of racing I was so tired and the relay seemed a lot harder than it was because my legs were so worn out. Still, managed to come in with a 4 minute lead or something like that and even with complications of lost emits and no maps Natalie brought us into the finish 3 minutes ahead of Meg (really proud of Nat for beating Meg cause she is so good and everything and wins all the time), the second last leg runner to come in. No mistakes at all, just plain running and trying not to collapse :P I hadn't spoken to our second leg runner very much before, although I was told that she could handle an orange fine and I was really pleased to see that she kept our lead and wasn't daunted by our (dis)organisation.. so a gold and a silver from this weekend... not bad!

C • well done! 5

C • Nice run! 3

A much harder area than yesterday, both physically and technically! I feel like I ought to have got lost for hours on 6 because to be honest I didn't know where I was I just went down some paths that were going in the right direction and found the control where I thought it might have been... :) the rest was fab, apart from about a minute on number 8 where I was on the wrong hill looking into the wrong depression :s anyway, Jenny only beat me today by 44 seconds and I managed to drop 3rd place overall and move up into second :) I didn't have a good run, but everyone else had even worse runs and I think I just kept pushing which is what gave me the edge..

Had an odd race.. took a bearing or too but basically just 'went' to all the controls, and then realised about a third of the way round that what I always considered as my 'race pace', was only a fraction of my actual speed and then accelerated through the last section of the course.. lost about 3/3.5 minutes on 19 because I was enjoying the downhill too much and carried on past the clearing... third with only a couple of seconds between me and Hannah Cox which was worrying as I didn't think I'd keep the place.. Jenny beat me by basically half an hour (as per)

Event: JK 2013
 

First day of the JK 2013... Felt good and didn't make any mistakes, probably could have just been quicker and more confident with route choice as I hesitated on numbers 4 and 13 (beaten to the podium by 5 seconds) :(
