Needed. Working for nothing today:-(

Over 100 miles (running) in Feb. Good going by my meagre standards.

C • I'm doing.... 6

Event: Midlands Championships (UKOL)
 

Midland Champs, Sherwood Forest.
M50L, 11.0km, 105m.
Too much of a burn up for me. Still i shouldn't be making mistakes. However the sub 5mpk forest at the start did catch me out, overshooting #4 and loosing approx 1.5 min. Going ok after that but eventually got caught by Clive who had started 4 min behind at #16. My failed attempt thereafter to keep up with Clive confirmed my knowledge that my speed just isn't sufficient for this sort of area.
Finished about 4.5 min down on Clive with a number of other decent runners between who i would normally expect to beat.

Jog to start with Mikey and minimal warm down afterwards.

Event: British Night Championships (UKOL)
 

British Night Champs, Cademan and Thringstone.
M50L, 7.4km 155m.
Tricky. Lots of indistinct paths and brambles whenever you left (the muddy) paths. Very happy not to completely loose track at any point. Lots of hesitations and general faffing though. Happy enough to finish 2nd, 4 mins down on Dave Peel. Beat Clive, Quentin and all the M45's (and W21's ;-)
