Was first start on the course and when I got to the 4th control the flag was missing, ran straight back to the start to see if they had another flag I could take out there so it would be okay. They didn't have any so i just ran around the rocks thinking about all the extra rock detail I would put on the map to make an awesome 1:5000 sprint area.

Afterwards drove to Fox House and then walked up to Burbage South to do some bouldering with Kim, Kelly and Hilary. Lots of fun but need more practice to get used to not actually having anything to hold on to and using the friction of the gritstone.

Warm up and drills before track (15 mins) and then about 30 minutes (i've only counted 15mins) walking around trying not to throw up.

Session was to do two hard efforts with a 5 minute break in between followed by a 200m relay in groups of three. Basically my session was finished after 2 minutes and 10 seconds, which was how long it took me to run my first 800m effort. After 5 minutes I started the next effort wanting to do 400m in about the same time as my first 400 of the 800 (63), I got to 300m in 46 but then was beginning to lose control of my legs, arms and various bodily functions. After trying to walk for a while I attempted to join in the first 200m effort of the relay but after jogging 200m I felt like I had done another 800m effort and realised that i was finished for the night. Walked and jogged around until it was time to go.

'Easy' lunchtime jog with Steve. Best loop so far from the office, might even do this one by myself occasionally.
