Good warm up but no warm down - got back just as the first major hail shower hit so opted for the tent rather than a jog.

Run - Orienteering warm up/down 1:12:36 13.31 km (5:27 / km) +413m 4:43 / km
ahr:160 max:174 shoes: VJ Falcons 14

JK Day 2, Kilnsey, M40L, 12.2km, 455m.

This was really not my type of area, was expecting to be chewed up and spat out by the runners today. However it was quite a bit more hilly than I was expecting so a bit of strength was necessary. It was unfortunately missing bog and tussocks and there weren't enough stones in the stony areas to slow you down at all.

Reasonably happy with the run, three 10-15 second mistakes (in a row I think) and quite a few times arriving on top of a crag at which the control was hidden right under, meaning a wee detour to get to it. Again, didn't Pleased enough with this and to have extended my lead as I wasn't expecting to be able to do that. Maybe back to Elite next year then?

shoes: VJ Falcons 14

JK Day 1, Waas Forest, M40L, 8.2km

First time that I have properly raced a class that is not elite since I was a junior! Entered M40 as I was expecting today to be an area that I liked and I wanted more than just a middle length course (plus wasn't so keen on 20km of wall crossings tomorrow). Good choice, really enjoyed the forest but actually found it much more runnable than I was expecting. Plenty of climb though.

Took a while to adjust to the 1:15 map and the size of the symbols but once I had that sorted I was moving okay. Never felt racy but that was probably due to the terrain. Lost 45 seconds each on #6 and #18 (due to unclear rhododendron mapping) and over a minute at #8 (me being stupid) but was otherwise happy (fastest split on 22 of 29 legs). Reasonably happy with that. Now to see if I can hold on when the runners get there chance tomorrow.

Up the hill to download with GG and Kris and then a trot along the forest road with Roger.

Event: JK 2016

Note
(rest day)

Watching the Sprint in Leeds Uni, looked a lot of fun but not upset to be missing it. Forgot to bring any non-dobbs to run in so wasn't an option even had I wanted to.

Note
(rest day)

Long day in work followed by a really long drive up to Leeds (2 hours to do 5 miles on the M5).

IW. That computer bag really is heavy and uncomfortable.

8 PM

Bike - Road 32:05 [3] 12.85 km (2:30 / km) +56m 2:27 / km

HFW. Late but a lovely evening and so much nicer with my normal bag. Spinning along nicely with no hurry on me.

7 AM

Bike - Road 28:57 [3] 13.07 km (2:13 / km) +38m 2:11 / km

IW. Lovely morning again and feeling good. Perfect timing through the lights resulting in the quickest morning ride in many a month. Feeling good.

5 PM

Bike - Road 27:36 12.89 km (2:09 / km) +48m 2:06 / km
weight:67.2kg

HFW. Wanted to go sub 30 again as it's been ages since I've had a day having done that. Got a sweet run through the lights and then pushed on from there, not so lucky with dog walkers. Had a heavy ill-fitting bag (work computer) so surprised to be as quick as I was. Think that's a PB for the ride home and the first time I have done two sub 29's. Score.

Bike - Road 30:53 [3] 13.09 km (2:22 / km) +39m 2:20 / km

Bike - Road 30:56 [3] 12.83 km (2:25 / km) +56m 2:22 / km

HFW. Not quite as nice as this morning but decent nonetheless and the wind wasn't too bad either. Grand.
