Note
A weekend to think about.
Positives: had fun both days. Courses well planned in terms of challenges set. Delighted at way leg held up for races, even if uncertain of longer term effects yet! Not sure if able to sustain training on it though, but will see.
On converse side, weekend proved how badly training has been disrupted over past few weeks. Managed to mix it during sprint races when technical challenges predominated, but as soon as physical ability became predominant, well off what is needed, both in terms of speed, and endurance. Plus side is that when it does sort out (and it is looking better), am in good position to make most of it: weight at best for a year or so, and there is definitely something to build on.
Weekend also proved that multi-level mapping is a problem! Maps simply didn't hold up when this kicked in, and the Bath map was just wrong in a number of details. It's all good fun, but just underlines why the IOF doesn't allow it for 'serious' competition.
