Running - Trail 14:35 [1] 2.69 km (5:25 / km) +44m 5:00 / km
shoes: Saucony Kilkenny XC5
Running - Trail race 43:35 [4] 10.41 km (4:11 / km) +258m 3:44 / km
slept:7.0 shoes: Saucony Kilkenny XC5
Main success was not vomiting/shitting myself on the way there/during the race. I started around Paddy thinking he was sticking with me, but I was actually sticking with him, and then I was slipping ever backwards through the field. I was well beaten by a guy who posed for photos and took diversions from the shortest line to high 5 his kids, and also by a guy wearing road shoes. Needless to say my Hallamshire career can only improve!
Course a bit dull but deceptively tough - long draggy hills longer than I've been used to in XC.

Shite weather but glad I went out. Opted for a lower level run faffing about around Longshaw. AT least I had some keen company. A bit of waiting but split at top of Padley Gorge for an uninterrupted loop with the guys.
Small toenail fell off. Felt a bit sore running but OK now. Might risk spikes tomorrow.

Note
slept:8.5 (rest day)
Been thinking about early 2016 - I'm not doing as much XC this winter as last, so I'd quite like to throw some 10kms, maybe a half marra, in to the mix in an effort to focus working on gaining a bit more speed in an effort to head towards 'the next level'. And also revise my embarrassing PBs.
Started looking at the calendar for next year. It would appear that Edale Skyline is a week before the first champs race at Black Combe, so I am in a bit of a bind:
1) A good attempt at defending my pot at Edale & do best I can at Black Combe (aka trot round and hit the downhill split hard...)
2) Black Combe only
3) Trafford 10km (same day as Edale) then Black Combe would act as a good early-spring peak to aim at, and would see me running pretty well at National/BUCS O just beforehand. Should be able to recover from a 10km in 5 days.
Currently ending towards option 3

Achilles and hamstring quiet. Quads a bit shot though - had to lower myself onto the toilet after!

Steady 3,5,3,5,3 (2).
R achilles eased off
Back of L knee a bit sore - will still be some subconscious overcompensation to keep an eye on.

Big Toe-nail made an early bid for freedom, a bit too early as the regrowth is currently very minimal.
