Warm up. Feeling pretty good considering a day of eating and drinking at a wedding yesterday, and a fry-up this morning

Running - Trail race (Padfield Plum Fair Scampe) 35:55 [5] 9.11 km (3:56 / km) +307m 3:22 / km
shoes: X-talon 212 (3 - 2013)

1st. Within a minute of Andi Jones' (who was busy representing GB at the WMRC today) record.

A sensible pace at the start. Sat with Owens in an Aryan block at the front before getting itchy feet and pushing on into the lead just before the road crossing. Set myself a good pace up the runnable track and was on my own, but knew I had someone (I thought Chris Leigh) about 10s down, once the track flattened out this guy (not Chris!) came past, my legs didn't quite get going but well in touch at the cabin and cairn which marks the top of the climb.
Got back in front on the early runnable part of the descent but couldn't shake the guy on my shoulder. Was preparing myself mentally for a big battle over the last 2 miles or so (had worked out he had good leg speed earlier!) but after Cock Hill trig a bit more technicality came into the route - not much but enough reeds and stones for 2nd place to slow down. Kept on pushing as can never be too sure, the small climb out of the stream was tough but looking at the track pace was still good right to the end.

First peaks race win, and always nice to combine the two rarities of a win and my parents watching.

out to Hayfield, then a slightly more wobbly ride back in the dark. As Mum has now appropriated my bike I thought th brakes might have been fixed, but I nearly ended up in wall on the corner of Watford road.

Upriver with ToddO - the only person I knew before I moved here who has been subjected to Teesside. Quite a nice evening actually, but getting dark by the time we finished, especially under any trees. Nearly headtorch time!

First 100km week in a long time. First 110km week in even longer! More to come (post Edale)

Running - Road 46:32 10.81 km (4:18 / km) +46m 4:13 / km
slept:7.0 shoes: NB580 v2 Red (1)

Fitted a trot round Billingham in before having to go back to SCIENCE. Feeling a bit leggy.

In the spirit of transfer deadline day I also got my change of club form signed so I can leave BMHH and join City of Stoke AC - been talking to their LD/XC coach there and sounds like a great set-up. I've improved at BMHH and everyone's great, but it's more of a social running club. Stoke will be a step up (e.g. in the B'ham XC league they finished 5th behind Tipton, Coventry, Brum Uni and Loughborough Uni, all pretty tasty clubs) but what I think my running needs and I should benefit a lot.
