| Bigland Badge event. Feeling a little bit delicate on way round but enjoyed it all the same - focused and smooth for first 1/2 then lost a bit of time in the middle but got it back together again by the end. Although I really enjoyed it I felt that the course was not the greatest (there were a few legs where best option was to leg it out to paths, run round large chunks of fences ).

| Needed to be in the Lakes for Dickie's wedding by 11.30 (near Ulpha) so had a very early start and was out the door, having had some juice and a strong shot of coffee, by 06.50.
Was going to do terrain intervals but Clare banned this on account of being late for said wedding. Decided instead to try and do some 1/2 marathon practice so did 2 x 3 miles (with 3 minutes recovery) on the road out to Oughtibridge. Did first set in 16.43 (Av HR 155) (didn't realise quite how much up hill this was - relatively speaking) and second in 15.56 (Av HR 154). Probably trying harder than will be able to sustain for 13 miles but it was a good effort.
Wedding was great- shame weather was not a touch better - and had a really good time.

| Run home - was planning on doing intervals but let myself off because I was knackered. Not pleased to arrive home to realise I had left my keys at work - doh. Craney and Grace (2 points) had a good laugh when I met them on the way to my secret, emergency spare key, hiding place. |

| Out in the peaks with Chris G. Really enjoyable, able to hold my own on the uphills but predictably Chris smoked me on the down hills. Chris wanted a hilly ride so took him up all the Sheffield Classics:- Stannington Road, Lodge Lane, Ringinglow Road,A625 (Frogatt to top Longshaw).
Got in a bit of tussle with another rider on the A625 which was fun. |

| Run to see Kim and then run home.
Seeing Kim was positive - back not in too bad shape (although was really tight). We worked through imbalances etc and there are some clear areas for me to work on which I am pleased about.
