Training Log: Urban

Event: Lincolnshire Urban League 2 - Market Rasen
 

LUL - Market Rasen
So very, very, disappointed (with myself).
Drove myself to Rasen (don't like driving myself / by myself)
Ran in the rain (don't like running in the rain)
First off on Long so had to wake up (unknowingly) all the Si Air units - bummer!
Scrappy over first few controls, not overly so, just annoyingly so.
9-10-11 was a tight dog-leg - slopped through the WET field to 9 having already noted the short leg to 10, but at 9 just totally forgot about it and headed to 11 - realised part way along the leg to 11 but thought - can't be bothered to go back now - too far, I'll just be trying to make up time that I can't make up - so just ploughed on.
It's probably sub-conscious but from there on in I found it a real slog, legs just wouldn't work as they should be doing, so although I tried to do the navigating, my legs failed miserably - wonder if they'd have been ok a) had I got 10...and b) if I hadn't realised that I hadn't got 10.... we'll never know!
So - 2 x LUL's down - 4 to go, and yet to have a "good" run....time is running out!
Also knees were pretty sore tonight (after 9) and the rib problem I seem to have picked up (although I've NO IDEA how) is bothering me :( feels like they are bruised but no sign of bruising, just sore to touch and when doing certain movements............all down hill from here ...................

Relive
ORE - felt good but relaxed, only dropped 3 seconds on the return - fitness improving, all be it slowly!
Pretty rubbish day - broke out the Craft thermal and a hat to keep the rain at bay!

Little Wold recovery - legs and lungs a bit tired, otherwise not too bad, even Q.T.'s not that bad after a hard Sunday run!

City of Culture Urban - Hull Marina and City
Felt that I ran quite hard and only lost time at the miss-placed control - probably minor route-choice losses here and there - but maybe more time lost than I'm thinking that I lost - splits may be interesting, also we'll see if I lose any places after the void leg is taken out - bit disappointed as all those peeps whom I'm normally minutes in front of were VERY close, time-wise, to me today :(
K.T. well in front - I'm just running so slowly (relatively) a.t.m. but at least L.Quad Tendon (just about) held out - not "super-great" but "ok"...just.
EDIT -
adjusted times make me feel a lot happier! :)

Event: Hull City of Culture Weekend
 

Hull Tri-O Stage 3 - Cottingham High School Sprint - nice! :)
No-where near confident enough to run 2 x 35 minute Score events prior to this as tomorrow is the focus and would really like the L.Quad Tendon to hold out.......not especially promising after today - but we'll see!

Little Wold, bit shorter as L.Quad Tendon a bit sore :(

There you go!

Event: Lincs Urban League
 

LUL - Lincoln East - ran like a Blind Donkey - didn't have my head on tonight - D'oh!
