Rest day.

Spent the afternoon belaying the Hollys (not sure of correct grammar on that one!) and then went for a walk with Dutchy, Stodge, Liz and the Downings while Simon was pied piper to our kids.

JK relays. Chasing Men with Judith and Gemma.
Clean run.
Didn't gain us any places, but didn't lose us any, either.

Thunder and lightening on the start line, but visibility was fine and it never got too wet to be unpleasant.
Shame about the assembly location - it felt like the course finished at about no 7 and the rest was dead running.
Clean run.
3/27, 2nd Brit, Becky 42.30. 3rd overall, which isn't bad for someone who has spent the winter eating all the pies and doing not a lot.

Parallel error on no 1 (simplifying the wrong reentrant) and so close on no 8, otherwise hit everything spot on.
Funniest moment was a very, very top W60ish who was on the same course and who had been running like a bit of a hare to my tortoise for a few controls stopped me 3/4 of the way to no 6 to ask where we were before mistaking the large craggy whole for a much bigger one and disappearing off into the distance after I told her I didn't have a clue... I was changed before she finished :)
4/30, 2nd Brit, Becky Osborn 52.02.

Event: JK 2014
 

Nothing too technical or tricky but good fun and nice overtaking people because of technique :)

13/45, Heather Hartman 14.54, Sophie 16.57

Walked home from lunch at the Bacon Buttie Shop,and then later on, walk over Oat & Broc Hills with Stodge.
Only a few small bracken shoots in 1 sheltered area, so a few weeks before I need to go bracken-bashing on Brereton Spurs.
