spiked:24/26c slept:6.8 shoes: VJ Supra

Brown course at High Ash - event was originally planned for February but postponed at last minute... obviously what was white forest in Feb was definitely worse come October: plenty of grot, nettles and brambles to contend with, hence the running time which was slower than I would have hoped for. Was pretty clean throughout, except for a wrong route out of the misplaced 16 which cost me 30 secs or so. Other slight hesitations amounting to not much more than 30 secs too. Overall - pleasing.

spiked:20/25c (injured) shoes: Inov-8 Mudclaw 265 Blue

Decided to brave the terrain/course at Formby and didnt regret it. Walked and easy jogged the course with Cocoa for added challenge (although she was fantastic as ever). Found it challenging judging distance at such a relatively slow tempo and certainly took a while to adjust. No major errors, although found a couple quite difficult to locate. Calf was a little sore but I kept it easy and walked the tougher bits. Beautiful afternoon in the sun!
