Interesting race around the streets of Skipton, got most of the right routes and at least I didn't cheat like Nails. Disappointingly lost 30-40 seconds in the last section where the map seemed to show an underpass through a building but the door there was locked, then fell down the stairs leading up to the door and took a poor alternate route. Heart wasn't in it after that but at least there was only a few minutes left to race. Also lost about 20 seconds where a passably route was shown through an out of bounds area but wasn't evident on the ground when I got there.

Warm up jog, drills and then a jog with Oli/Speakie and then Camel afterwards.

Third leg for the Hallamshire 'B' team, climbed a few places rather than dropping them like i did at the road relays which was nice. Don't like being this slow but not really doing much about getting any better...

Ran a loop of the course with RobB to warm up, plus some more jogging drills etc for warm up. Fairly short cool down.

Ran from the Bakers' to the club hut and then down to the Lexus dealership where we were doing the session. Ran 2 loops at full pace 2'06 and 2'04 with 3 min recovery between. Then jogged back to the Bakers for a great veggie curry and plenty of chat about the elopement.

Stormed through the green spot on the competition wall and all the purple spots that I didn't quite manage with Oli last week, kept on climbing some easy green routes after i was too pumped to hang on to any difficult holds.
