Had planned to head to South Achray but cannae be arsed. Hopefully I'll get my motivation back after three weeks' holiday. JEC must happen so I have a lot more bracken-bashing to do in August, help or no help.

C • South Achray 5

Run from work. Felt like at English man in central Europe to start with - awkward, but improved slowly. Muggy.

Harvester Relays - 2nd leg for FVO 1st team.
Cleve Hill. Will came back in 3rd a way behind BOK and someone else but I was more concerned with SYO and thankfully they were behind. Went out hard and promptly got into serious oxygen debt - that bloody bike race is still in my legs! Anyway managed to hold it together until no4 which was on a niche and cheekily placed at the lower end of it. Wandered around above it for a few minutes before checking my bearings on a track and going back in - saw it as approaching from the far side. Ok from there, just very slow and tired on the climbs. Thankfully back before SYO and reduced margin to leaders down to 2.5 minutes. All going swimmingly for the team until Rog mispunched. :-( Hey=ho. We would have won by miles and embarrassed ourselves - we can do that next year in the Lakes.

South Achray route running. Followed by 45 minutes of bracken bashing. Rog and I are doing well - ON OUR OWN. Really could do with some help.
