Really pleased with how this weekend has gone, update more later. Absolutely exhausted now, very full on weekend (at the event on Saturday from before 10 to just before 8 because we were helping) and 2 bad nights sleep.

British relays, women's premier 1st leg, 1st, smashed it again
Clean into the first control and there seemed to be lots of people around but on the way to 2 it was just me and Laura Goy at the front, I took the lead but I could tell she wasn't far behind me, really pushed on the downhill legs (3/4/5/6) because I know that's where I can make up time, easy nav so pushing quite hard, 3 uphill legs were tough and I was flagging up to 11 and I could tell Laura was closing the gap, was able to recover on the path to 12 so I could start pushing again but Laura seemed to disappear. Lost about 30s on 13, probably paying more attention to where I was putting my feet than looking at my compass but it just didn't look right in there. 16 also wasn't what I expected, lost maybe 10s there. Then after spectator let go on the long downhill again, good balance of reading the map and legging it. 21 seemed to be further down the stream than it should have been so I climbed some extra height there, and then the long brutal climb up to the last 2 controls killed me. Been pushing so hard around the whole course I didn't have anything left for that hill but I gave it what I could. Finished with a 4 minute lead, really don't understand what happened to everyone else, looking at the map (and at the start list) you would have thought it would be a really tight and fast race without much room for error. So didn't get the exciting head-to-head race I wanted but still had a lot of fun and really pleased with my performance.

British long champs, 1st, smashed it
Everything just seemed to work today and I felt really in control, most of the course was in the really tricky section so just focused on trying to be clean and pushing whenever I could, few little wobbles but we're talking nothing more than about 15s at a time, except on 21 probs lost more like 20s, very hard to tell where the edge of the marsh was so faffed a bit looking for the pit. On all of the longer legs I was able to push quite hard for most of the leg and I really went for the downhills (when it was safe to do so). Caught Beth about 9/10 and she was flying so had to work really hard to keep with her and I was already starting to tire, able to keep up with her by taking better lines and being cleaner into some of the controls but she left me for dead on the hills. Probably wouldn't have been able to quite keep the pace up without Beth to push me but don't think it made too much difference. Really enjoyed it and so happy to finally win the British long after 3 years of finishing 2nd!

Very short session as its the British this weekend, wanted to do more (and with less recovery) but I've been slowly learning that I should actually listen to Bashir... Running with Heather, she's always happy to just go along with whatever I have planned. Mixture of hail, strong winds and sunshine made it an interesting session...
