| Grassington Open5. Rather disappointingly we wern't allowed off ROWs for the O bit so it was just a long run, lost a few minutes and didn't take the best route. Wanted to get all the controls so was out on my feet a fair while (2,15), 10 minutes at the changeover and then a good route on the bike. Tough and steep (especially at the start) but much drier than when I was up there last year. Back with less than 2 minutes to spare so manged to grab a wee backpack for my efforts (prizes nowhere as good as last year) as 2nd had the same points but was 5 minutes late. Calf was no problem at all and still isn't, the rest of me is bollocked though! |

| Calf still a bit suspect so decided to give it a bit more rest before tomorrow. |

| What a difference a day can make, felt like Tigger today, full of bounce! Normal short loop but was quicker than usual despite only running steady. Wish alll runs felt like this. |

| Trail run 39:00 [3] | |

Monday Sep 24 |
| Trail run 56:30 [3] | |
| shoes: Asics Torana |
| A bit damp for the first time in weeks, not wet and sticky yet but I'm sure that it wont be long coming. Circuit along the top of RIvelin and back along the bottom and then straight up from the baths to the graveyard. Didn't really want to be out and didn't put a lot of effort in. |
