XC / road / hill race 1:32:00 [3] 13.15 mi (7:00 / mi)
slept:5.0
Barrathon
6:30, 6:13, 6:16, 6:28 (25:24)
6:39, 7:02 (hill), 6:25, 7:10 (52:40) then cramp:
7:38, 7:07, 8:26, 8:41 (really jogging now, and a v big hill) 7:03 (down the other side. Back hurting now too), 0:48.
Brilliant. Running better than ever, stretched out a massive lead, feeling v easy still, on 6:30 pace (good as this is no flat course!) THEN, after 8 miles got serious, repetitive cramp in my L hip flexor and jogged home in 92, 3rd lady. Meh! Hopefully avoided long term damage, but the ceilidh afterwards was not doing it any favours so i only managed 2 dances. Sore top-of-foot again too
Great weekend. Ray won, lots of microtrots for the kids, beach action after the race, and the brown turnout was overwhelming. Smiles all around! Most were staying up for Harris next weekend. That'll be us next year for sure! Just reminds you what an AMAZING country Scotland is.

Meadowbank with Shona, Rachel and Kirstin.
I haven't trained on the track regularly for about 10 years. When you have had kids, or are in your late 30's your body just isn't designed for track training any more. It's just too sore. It's really good at getting you quick. I only have 6 weeks to woc so I wasn't using it for that, more that Shona suggested a session there and the company was v welcome.
So it was 6 x 500, starting every 3mins. Mine were all in the 1:38-1:40 bracket, so recovery was 1:20-ish.
Nice chat with Alex Mcewen (who I used to train with at the track) afterwards. Stagger home.
