Up ringinglow rd then down long line and thru dore, coming back along limb ln
Did my post-hard-race sorta distance! Could tell I'd raced yesterday but the legs didn't feel too bad (y)

N'ern XC Champs, Bedale. 20th in 31:20. 8km course of 2 laps (with the second lap having an extra section)
It's been a bit of a mad week work wise so I was hoping that the adrenaline would see me thru the weekend! Good to see Nigel before as that deff.s put me in a +ve mindset. Set off well and felt really strong on first lap, second lap was a bit more hanging on but nevertheless felt good :) Flat course the v think mud in many parts which made it testing. Overall I'm really pleased which today :D It's my best N'ern XC senior performance (26th in 2016 and 27th last yr) AND I'm close to earning a Northern vest! Coach really pleased and think I definitely have the potential to work towards this vest (+ a trip to Europe!), so I'm super excited about the future whilst basking in the happiness of today and how I'm running atm :')

From Woodbourn out to EIS and back, doing 4 x strides by Woodbourn tram stop
Had to go cautiously in parts due to frost, but felt good and recovered after last night :)

Hill session of 10 mins (heart shape), 10 x strides across top of field, 10 mins (big C), 5 x strides up hill, 10 mins (sml c), 5 mins hill sprints loop
Tough sesh but I felt strong and thoroughly enjoyed this. Excited for the Northerns this weekend!
