Wanted to go for a long run but couldn't motivate myself to leave me room. So met up with Ben to do a short casual run. Lovely light etc...

Waiting for Ben

Mixed emotions about this race.
I knew I wasn't going to get a great time but still it was disappointing to be right back where I started.
I was second leg runner and James got us a great start running 16:15 and bringing us back in about 6/7th. I started well and maintained pace, but then into the wind I just had no strength and Imperial passed me and I couldn't go with them. Basically just felt weak for the whole course and I think mentally I was demoralized.
Our team was insane though three old alumni coming to run with one running sub 16 (we only had one average guy who didn't go sub 17). Anyway we came 4th which is really good, with the girls coming 3rd!
Good seeing Joss aswell :)

It was actually funny how awful this run was.
Spent the first 5mins struggling to breath and coughing my guts out.
Then ran into a head wind for 20 mins which took me down to snail speed.
Then got a nose bleed and so had to run into some bushes and use leaves to stop the bleeding.
Just to make sure its was truly awful it then began to rain really heavily!

C • Really? ;P 3

The kind of session I would have loved. 3min sets x8 inlcuding a meaty hill.
Only just managed 5 and then ran back. Felt awful and breathing was hard so knew it was going to be bad. But then the hail/rain/wind hit making the session unbearable. Not getting a good track record, giving up pretty much whenever it gets hard haha
