Otley street race. Fun. Felt better than yesterday due to lack of hills I think. Planning ahead quite well, unfortunately a bit too well at no 12 when I went straight to 14 - oops. Some tricky little bits in the centre of the old town.

Before start

Jog to Haworth for street race from M and Ds at Oxenhope and back again after

Haworth street race. Fun event. Not too technical but still not clean. Slippy on wet streets, so never really hit top gear.

Warm up for street race in Thornton.

Street race in Thornton. More interesting than the morning. Was generally better at planning ahead. Just a few hesitations. Struggling on the hills.

With J on Dinnet Moor. Dreich day. Feeling v tired last night and this morning. Legs were alright once I got warmed up until we reached the hill over the shoulder at the far side. Intervals must have done something - hopefully beneficial.

14 x 1' + 1' at Kingshill. A bit stiff at the start, but got going ok.

To and from intervals. Lovely day.

No time during the day

On the green in Aboyne with DR. 2 x 2 laps of double pitch, 4 x 1 double pitch, 4 x 1 single pitch, with jog recoveries betwen. Didn't manage to take splits as watch was full. Reckon it was about 27' of effort and 20' recovery. Was cutting the recovery laps to catch up Robbie, Dan etc. Long session but good and a good turnout.

Warm up and down could do with being a bit longer.

Went out to Glensaugh to see how a student was getting on with fieldwork, then went on an exploration of the Slack Burn gorge. Dropped down to the burn from the weather station, and followed it up to near its high point. Interesting spot and some notable groundwater / surface water interactions, with lots of scree / loose rock filling the valley bottom. Climbed up out of the gorge then across peat bogs to the watershed running across to the Cairn. Out for 85' or so, but walked a large part of it.
