Training Log Archive: ba-ba

got an earlier start as didn't fancy being benighted and fancied being about for the elites finishing.

Much better today (though added a lot more distance and climb to the straight line) as wanted to lay yesterday's ghosts to rest. Somehow managed to nail #1 with a perfect bearing. Should have then stopped and planned 2 (same with 4 when I got to it) which would have saved time overall. 5 was OK but slow, and a bit lucky (story of the day). 7&8 ok, went up the steep slope via water for 9. Slow through heater uphill for 10 and 12. Then took the 600m of taped route to plan the rest of the course (wasn't running fast - shown as a fat man caught me up!) clean through 15,16,17(maybe could have crashed through DG here? went round in the end), went via water for long leg to 18. Clean 19,20(did go through green - should have tracked it) and 21. Left 21 silly - followed some people through a trod, 90deg to what I wanted, wasted 2mins prob. Cocked up 23 - only error of the day - indistinct veg changes again, but caught the error earlier than I might normally. Last km was open and a pile of piss. Dead on run-in.
Could(should?) have been 20mins quicker but fairly happy.
