| 4 x 1 km (was actually 5 but I had to detour to the loo after 400m of the 4th one!)
Running them in about 3.50 (much slower than usual due to the ridiculous wind) and not sure about recovery - meant to be 90secs but I think that might have been of Jules and she was about 100m ahead of me! (I didn't have my watch).
Skipped the sprints as back in the loo - tip: not only should I avoid muffins on track days but all butter shortbread too! |

| Note | |
| (rest day) |
| Enforced - Oli and I thought the XC was at Storthes Hall (seemingly it got moved about a month ago!) so spent hours driving round all the schools in the vicinity to try to find it only to discover (via ringing my sister) that it was actually the other side of Huddersfield (therefore through the cup tie traffic!) and we arrived just in time for Oli to start. Luckily Hallamshire women certainly didn't miss me as Jules was 2nd, Lizzie 6th and Nic 11th to take the gold. Congrats to Lizzie on getting picked for the mighty YORKSHIRE! |
