Pentlands with Jonny starting from Penicuik.
Definitely overdone it this week. Was absolutely crawling along. Then my hips/butt and R knee all seized up coming down Turnhouse so could barely lift my legs. At this point Jonny had had enough of my snail pace and opted for a bonus hill up Castlelaw, whilst I crawled my way up the valley to the wedding stile. Kept going till Jonny caught me up then we both walked the rest of the way to the bus stop.

East District XC League - Broxburn 3rd
Decided to get out harder than I have the previous few races and go with Jill at the start. Was fun hooning down the first hill with Jill, Shona and I at the front...go trotters! YP was loving it! :) After the steep hill, Jill boosted off the front and I ended up running with Megan Crawford for the rest of the race. Legs/lungs started suffering a lot on the last long drag up to the top and let the gap stretch a bit too far to Megan ahead. But knew I had a couple of people right behind me so kept pushing hard to the top and once on the downhill, I was fine till the finish.
1st by Jill, 3rd by me, 9th by Shona and 12th by MeganW meant we completely dominated the team competition which was exciting (although all the top people were in Liverpool...)
Jonny came 3rd also...cute :D

Took my new shoes out for a spin on the seat. Was supposed to be with Jonny but my blistering pace meant he had to turn round and go home at the top of the crags ;) Full moon was pretty cool.

EUOC Ints - 6x 5mins (1min)
On my own tonight and crazy strong wind made this tough. Cut the corner in the break between the 2nd and 3rd reps so I could at least start with the boys. Hanging off the back of a couple of guys by about 10 metres on the 4th and 5th, then ran with a guy on the last one.
Legs finally gave up trying to brace against the wind on the 5th, left quad was burning! Crazy the difference in pace running into the wind compared to with the wind.

The best thing about the wind was that it pushed me all the way up the hill :)
