JK Relays Mens Vets 120, 2nd team with Will and Rog.
Snowy muddy day but I'm always up for a relay. Will handed over in about 5th and off I went. Didn't see anyone out there just made sure I was running strong and clean and checking codes (!!!!). Struggled with the hill on the return but got the job done. Back in 3rd place which Rog held onto. Sadly no podium again. Thanks Will :-( But I wouldn't have been there anyway. Family scarpered home (back for 5:15 :-)
Glad to get away from that horrible JK. No way am I going next year!

JK Long at Beaudesert. Went of hard nd course was very easy for first 7 then I had trouble trying to get to 8 because of the forestry works not being shown on the map and then the route to 9 bore no resemblance on the map to what was on the ground. Hunted for a bit here and got a bit low on morale.
Then it all went tits up at 23 - a pit in light green with no attackpoint. Saw a pit on the way into the circle but there was nothing on the map so in I went and promptly ran about - later I discovered that the pit I saw was under my numbering on the map (wa&*ers!) and I was east of the line. Anyway 3.5 minutes blown and game over.
Shittest JK for a long time.

Event: JK 2018 - Days 2-4
 

Jk middle, Brereton Spurs, Cannock. A Long wait to race and a slightly negative mindset didn't help. Shot off like a startled deer and promptly lost the plot across to 2 where I overshot. From then on I was very scrappy and really struggling with the small climbs. I don't like vague maps. Held it together, just, to get 4th spot but 5 mins down on the Nogs and Andy S. Hope I feel better tomorrow. Wiped out after that mini hill race.

6.5 hours of driving.

Newton PS running club. Down to Holmhill for a variety of intervals. The kids really loved the wee hill climb one :-)

First day of the year with Kidney troubles.
