| Bakewell Pudding fell race. 6th place, and three minutes faster than last time I ran the race (but that was three years ago and I was hungover). Started off quite well, and got a few places on the climb. Then ran a bit too hard at the start of the long downhill finish and was struggling to keep up the pace at the end.
Phil won, just holding off Stuart Bond. After the race Phil was heard to praise Stuart for his 'awesome sprint finish' and 'amazing road speed'. |

| Long run on my afternoon off. Starting at mine, Rivelin, Stannington, below Rivelin rocks, Headstone, Stanage Pole, Stanage trig, Burbage mines, down the parks, Hunters Bar and home. Felt great for the first 2 hours, but my legs started to stiffen on the run down the parks. Just about survived the climb home from Hunters Bar.
Route and lots of other exciting stuff here. |

| Damflask relays. From Low Bradfield the race follows the Percy Pud route until it crosses the dam wall, where you turn left and climb the hill on the road, and then drop back down into Low Bradfield. Felt like I was running OK, but was 5 seconds slower than a couple of years ago. Don't feel like I've got any speed in my legs at the moment. |

| Track, after seven weeks away. Oli said last week it was like seeing an old friend again. I disagree. It was more like bumping into that bully you thought had stopped picking on you, and realising that they've just got meaner since the last time you saw them.
Anyway, an easy one tonight before Damflask relays tomorrow. 4 * 500m with about 2 mins 30 sec recovery. |
