Greno time trial. Really really didn't fancy this when I got up this morning, but once I got started it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Not only that, but I was two minutes faster than when I ran it on 31/12/06. Lap times of 15:15 and 15:16. So close to negative splits.

Warm up and warm down for the time trial. There were a couple of fallen trees on the route that I wanted to move but nobody would help me. We so could have moved them.

Long legs course in Wharncliffe to get over to the "nice" bit at the far end for a bit of 1:7500 action and then back. You need to be in the right mood for Wharncliffe. It was pretty tough, but we ran through some nice bits. I felt really tired after the 1:7500 section and was going to cut short, but got my energy back on the moorland section which was proper nice.

Course in the intricate section at the N of Wharncliffe with a blown up 1:7500 bit of map. It was tough going, but even Oli is human and saw him miss a couple, as did I. I was getting tired by this point and my head was going. Somehow Rob & Neil overtook us but we never saw them. I'm suspicious....

I'm pretty screwed now. Nothing really hurts, but my whole body is a bit achy. It has been a quality weekend of training, thanks to Oli for organising and to everyone else for coming along and making it such fun. Sheffield rules! Easy day tomorrow...
