I figured that after cycling last night my legs would need a shake out. Was probably wrong, even with an unexpected lie-in due to phone turning itself off.

Hope Wakes. 11th. Winner JC, 43ish.
Well off the pace, had a feeling I was in for a shocker from mid-afternoon. Well beaten by people I rarely see in races including behind Sheffield Tri and Tideswell runners - the shame! Time to recover and get right before Bradda - figure it's best to get the bad one out of the way now.
Mark was 2nd, just ahead of Petey. Along with winning the Trog in a good time on Sunday. He's upped his game and I need to up mine!
Hayfever wise felt fine during race but horrendous after, despite a 2nd tablet at 5pm.

Steady up RIvellin then a steady Coppice track (6 dead - was hoping for a bit quicker)
Scorchio. By the point it's acceptable to take my top off (just past the kiddy park) my vest was so soaked I couldn't get it off, so had to suffer/work on my tan lines all run. Plenty pf people BBQing and splashing in the river.

8x(1 hard, 1 float, 1 hard, 1 jog) out to and on the track around Damflask. Decided that before I work on my speed endurance, some speed is necessary. This felt tough and some of the floats were maybe not quite as fast as they should have been, but got it done and feeling better in the last couple of sets than the middle.
Going to call this session 'Garibaldis', seeing as I looked like a squashed fly biscuit by the end of this.
Plenty of people out on a lovely evening - I had The Mothership Returns (we got the funk) and Lionel (Ceiling) stuck in my head for most of it (joined by Who at the end).
I was kind of wanting to run the Damflask relays tomorrow, but was a bit late finding out who to contact. As it is, I'm planning 2 sessions and 2 races this week so it would probably be a bit too much anyway - will go and cycle around and watch.
