cursory to get blood heart pumping something other than alcohol around the body.

3rd leg in 4th team and was hoping for a sturdy if not spectacular run. Well that went tits up... Set off with Scott Collier and ran to his first control as I managed to tell myself to go past 2 paths but only did 1, so spent a lot of time fannying about ~150m east of where I needed to be. Slow to 2 and 3, fannyed at 4, then did the same as number 1 on the way to number 5 ('parently shminty, rocke and haines did this also - but not in the same class as me!) Spent ~12mins digging around in completely the wrong place (mind determined to think the open broken ground I was standing in was the runnable forest I was meant to be in...) Then decided it wasn't happening and walked to the finish. Gah! Won't happen next time... just couldn't concentrate or think today.

Event: BUCS Championships 2009
 

very shoddy warm up/down. i.e. hardly any.
Warm down was a can of kronenberg.

Felt good to number 6, then tired to 9 (the only bit of climb) and could feel food sploshing about in me. Good 2 (pos. more) mins lost fannying about looking for 9 - which saw me take in 12 and chat to Hartman - had cought about 3 mins on him here until I did me cock up.
After that was tired through the butterflys. ~1min lost on 19 fannying about at a not veg boundary instead of the really obvious one. Scrappy through the pick section after the spectator - was racing with 3 other guys here head-to-head and beat them all comfortably, but 4 pairs of eyes (and 4 brains) were defiantly better than 1.
Lucked out a lot of times with people standing on to of the ditch a control was in etc, and when I had to find a tricky one on my own I got lucky again.
Not bad considering the lack of training in feb. min or so down on Hartman, ahead of G and Ash.Could have had 5 mins quicker if cleaner, and more if I was fitter.
Stil pretty chuffed mind.

Beer-race win. Result!
EUOC were evidently smarting at this as they tried to flatten our battery in the night so we had to bump start our way to the relays, and then they covered the bus with butter...

C • WOOP! 1

*yes* laptop back

Ergh, last few days have felt really crap when getting out of bed and today just feel knacked after hills (:O), so will do nothing today. Except maybe a very short run to loosen legs.
also - nipples rubbed to buggery!

oh yeah - results back from Jan. Def. doing hard training during the next exam period if it works as well as it did then - Hopefully better though!

13min warm up up School Road and around the Highland quarter.
7min warm down down school road.

20mins effort on Roslin Road. Took the descent slower than most. managed 21 reps - which is waht I did last time on this session - and I was trying much harder then than I did today.
felt good going up. And Fazza turned up! :O

and now to regain some fitness ahead of the weekend. Great performance by ShUOC at the brits - this weekend coming will be awesome!

Was going to go into Rivellin but couldn't be arsed with getting out of it by Heroes. Up to Crookes WMC, across to Lydgate to Crosspoool, down to Fulwood road, back via Broomhill.
Steady up the hill, tried to up the pace and keep it going from Fulwood road.

Beer for lunch. :P

Lazy Circuits. 45-15
