Event: YHOA Superleague
 

jog to the start with some dynamic stretches

YHOA Superleague, Tankersley, Short Brown
better, felt solid, pity about the silly mistake near the end, not a great course, too many long track running legs

#2 paused at end of knoll to check map, 10m from control [10]
#5 came down ditch, looked like attacking from path was easier [10]
#7 attacked from lower path, could've gone in earlier, slow up to flag [15]
#14 surpised to see long depression on my left, slowed up, paused at thicket [30]
#22 switched off, dead easy control but didn't read map inside circle, bang on line found depression not flag, if I contined another 10m I'd have seen it, instead looped back to attack point [80]
#24 good route but should've rounded the spur instead of climbing it [15]

two reasons for error at #22: eyesight and poor concentration because I was monitoring by physical performance (given recent travails)

7th 8mins behind Nathan Lawson, who will have crushed me on the track runs

checking the Forty Acre map and exploring some of the light/mid green areas, or in other words, wandering around talking to myself, found a depression (sort of) in a lovely larch plantation

KV core conditioning and hip stretches

Stanton Moor Spirals
weather forecast was spot on, sun came out before lunch so I took the opportunity to visit Stanton Moor, and it was warm, the bad news is the run was tough going, definitely not feeling as strong as I did earlier in the year, bit of a noxious odour from the sinuses

given the pace I was going at the average HR is a bit high ...

addenda: the run seems to have shaken up some phlegm, a cough has developed

tempted to resume training, but other things got in the way, such as the darkness falling

more KV: core conditioning and hip stretches

feeling a bit better, but if been so off the pace recently, I think a very light week may be required

I should've guessed: my insatiable thirst before the run yesterday was a sign of not being well, my dismal pace another. Slight head cold developed today. Gonna have to rest.
