Relay with the Yorkshire team that won jircs (Pippa and Tara). Set off 2nd or 3rd- not sure- pretty much the same time as Rachel Duckworth. Had a similar course to her so saw her a lot. There were times when I could see Lizzie in the distance but I think she got further away towards the end. I was just ahead of Rachel at the first spectator but she was too fast so I lost her after that. I couldn't see the gap in the big netted fence on the way to the last control so I was stood there for quite a bit panicking, but I eventually realized there was a gap 5 metres to my left. Didn't lose too much time, but I was annoyed with myself. I actually sprinted the whole run in even though it was insanely long. Probably wasn't actually going that fast. Came back 3rd and Pippa brought us to 2nd. England got 1 & 2 on women and we won overall. Also I got another £15, so pretty happy.
Got a cold now though.

JHI individual. 2nd to Lizzie- 4 minutes down but I was still pretty happy with it. Got a £20 voucher as well so worth the effort. Didn't really mess up, #2 seemed to take me a really long time compared to other people but I didn't make a mistake. came out in the wrong place for #5 but realised I was disorientated and the control turned out to be almost within sight so I found it pretty quickly after that- it was just a bit hard to get to through brambles and fallen trees that were too big for me. Pretty good after that though. England won the day.

A couple of games against the yr9 As at lunch. I had to leave a bit early for the JHIs.

1st match- Abbey Grange- played second half as WA. We lost 16-6- but I think I played alright.
2nd match- Horsforth- WA then C. We won 9-6. Played pretty good for the first half but then my bobble fell out second half so I was getting distracted by my hair and I was nowhere near when they were taking the centre.

Just a short run to stretch my legs. Went up all the steep hills so I was quite tired, but I got more into it as the run went on and was fine up the last hill. Slow but probably put in more effort than I should've done.

Miss Guy wasn't there so we just played games not very seriously.
