Training Log Archive: Han-nah

Duddon reccy with Dad. Legs had major DOMS before starting, so both found the running hard going and alot of walking was done.
However positively would have made the cut off at 3 Shires so know I can make it round!

Really enjoyable day out and sooooo glad we did reccy it as theres loads of trods and routes I just would not have found on my own!

Looking forward to the main event now!

Still my favourite race, 9th lady

Really dissapointed with time, was aiming for 2hrs 5 if not closer to 2hrs.
Felt like I raced hard and I should definatley be fitter and stronger than 2 years ago which I had hope would actually warrent a faster time.
Dad was in in 2hrs 5 and is actually running well as has been training well so wasn't thinking I would be around his time and this would have brought me in in 4th lady about 20-25 minutes behind Vic Wilkinson which is pretty unrealistic really.
Had a look at times from last year and they do all appear to have been quicker, lots of folk whinging that they were the same or slower than previous years. Think because there was a breeze on the tops I felt like the heat shouldnt have slowed us down but it evidently did.
However, I did really love every step of this race, will just have to try again next year!

Must do more races in coming weeks, worked out that this is my 2nd this year which wont be helping slowness

Lovely sunny pre brekkie turn over with Rosie
Saw some gorge ducklings which got reeeaaally close to us!

Small session to try and sharpen up the legs before Saturday
WU, 3 sets of 3x90seconds, WD

Very lazy type session, probably more like low end of tempo pace really
Sooooo thirsty as well and still a bit full from dinner
