St Sunday Crag, Fairfield and Helvellyn (third time lucky) while Anwen was doing her race. Knee fine again today - Hopefully won't hear from it again..

With Anwen from the hostel. Helvellyn and then raise and then an extra loop when Anwen turned for home. A bit worried about knee - pain localised to the back of the knee in the lateral hamstring tendon - but didn't feel it at all..

We then joined up with Anwen's York Knavesmire friends to walk the exact same route an hour later..

Giving the knee a break. In the lakes this weekend so I'd very much like to run up some hills without problem..

Knee a bit sore again this morning, had a stretch before starting and kept it easy. Would have shortened the run if I hadn't left the car..

Felt pretty decent and this passed quickly until my left knee started to get a little sore in the last 10 minutes.

JK Relay - 3rd Leg - Out in 11th back in 5th
Shminty came back in second but Jamie struggled on the second leg with some of the forkings and with Sasha, Ali and Will six minutes up the road, the podium looked very unlikely.

Went out just ahead of Peter and we raced around together, alternating the lead whenever there was a small mistake or hesitation. Generally, we were going very well and we caught up with Murray just at the bottom of the hill. I pushed the pace on the hill and dropped Peter, and then Murray (going past Jonny Malley in the process). Got to the second last control and thought 'I know where the last control is' and ran to the kid's last control (bugger!). This allowed Murray back past but I stayed ahead of EUOC in the sprint finish (don't know when they appeared). Very glad that none of the boys ahead mis-punched so this mistake didn't cost us 3rd. Really enjoyed the race and looking forward to more relays ahead.
