| Grrr, stomach really hampered my chances of a decent run on my first Yorkshire appearace. Didn't feel great going up, but at least my legs felt good. Really struggled on descent as it felt i was gonna hurl again :( Not good, rather disappointing to feel like this after some good training.
I think it might have had something to do with the heat, rather than bbq the night before as no-one else there was ill. Going to start drinking a lot more than usual to try and stay hydrated to see if that helps. |

| Reccie of Jack Bloor fell race on Ilkley Moor with Greg, Bircho, Nokia, Rod, Niall, Jenga and Sorrel. Tried a few new routes out as there was 8 of us out so was a good opportunity to see if they were any quicker. I reckon the bit at the start might save 10 secs, but i have a cunning plan for the last checkpoint. Will have to wait and see if i pull it off. Great day for running on the moor, just shorts and vest at 8.30, cracking! :) |

| First 5km road race for a couple of year's, but didn't want to go too hard as hadn't done anything fast since 3 Peaks so just paced Sarah and Emily round instead. Felt pretty comfortable, although i was only 32 secs off my own pb! Both girls broke pb's, though not quite under the 18-min mark, and leading women went sub-17. Lovely evening for a race though. |
