JIRCS relays Sandscale Haws dunes. First leg (team of Sarah Pedley/Katherine Hall), 3.6km.
Cannot express my love for sand dunes enough! I just love them ;) Knew I just needed to get my navigation right. Which I did pretty well. Slight hesitation at #1 but nothing major. Took an easier route choice to the left at #4 and ended up by myself from then on. The rest was all pretty good apart from #16 where I went to a different control first (and Kathryn got ahead of me -.-) Came back 7th which I'm pretty happy with (and even more so after my JHI relay......:/) Team finished 11th, which I think is alright:)

And go YHOA for 3rd overall!!!! :D Yoooooorkshireeeee ;)

JIRCS individual on Graythwaite. 3.6km, 155m.
Really like this part of Graythwaite so was looking forward to it! Missed #3 as I was further down the marsh than I originally thought so ran around a bit before going back to the marsh and realising what id done... Lost ~4mins :/ #8 I lost concentration and went a rather stupidly loopy route. Wasn't sure where I was until recognising this big crag (from previously being lost in that area) so then went straight to the control!! Lost ~2mins. #9 waa the hardest leg and everyone seemed to mess it up, but I found it fine after only a few hesitations. Really happy to end up 3rd!!

Nice hike up to Easedale Tarn. We stopped like every 200m though to look at some geographical features... It was a bit frustrating but definitely quite interesting! And nicer than being in school for the day!! We covered maybe 4/5 miles in about 6 hours D:

Going on a Geography Field Trip to Grasmere until Friday :D so no more running this week unfortunately :( But I guess ill be rested for JIRCs! And I get to spend pretty much a whole week in the Lakes :')

Harriers. First winter session so run out to Bradshaw Road (quite uphill...)

Bradshaw hills - 160m, ~10m climb. First session so only 5, but bloody hell I'm glad we did no more:/ Felt so bad!! We normally build up to 8 or 9 at the end of season so I will get there eventually :)

Easy jog back (downhill).

Rest day needed after last week. Haven't done that much exercise in a while....

School PEP. Second sprint session. [35m x 4] x 6 with 45secs rest. Not exactly hard.. Plus wu/wd.
