Met up with the Hinds at Penkridge Bank & ended up playing in the quarries around Kevins path & getting caught in a hail/rain shower that lasted longer than we could hide under a heathery bank. The sun cam back out in the car park! Rode all of it & didn't wuss out at all :o)

Event: Nottingham Uni Sprint Races
 

First race - went very steadily, as fast as my nose & head would let me. Some tricky choices, but not going fast enough to make navigation tricky. Very straight splitsbrowser line! A fun area (especially liked the little tunnel), but nothing too challenging. Wish I was healthier.

Second race. More straightforward (tho' I did miss an open gate that was marked as uncrossable but was open - didn't give it a thought as I went through, only noticed when I was going around with Carley later when it was closed) & much quicker. Tried to pick it up a bit over the last few, but it didn't make a huge difference looking at Splitsbrowser. Another nice straight line.

Wouldn't have gone if I hadn't already offered to take Carley & Kelvin, but it was good to get out & I'm glad I went.

The cold/cough that has been lurking for the last week or so deciding whether to stay or go has finally decided to stay with a vengance. Feel pretty grim.
Missed the run from our place on Thursday, orienteering from Strawberry Fields on Sunday & an urban race tonight. Still supervised the juniors & did Berkswich this afternoon/evening, & fab to see a few more of the Brekswich juniors at Chasers training :o)
Hoping to feel better by Nottingham on Saturday, particularly as I'm taking Carley & Kelvin!
