JK Day 3, Mynydd Llangynidr, M45L 9.4 km. Another pretty clean run and running well. Just a couple of wobbles and cautious on a few. It was chilly waiting at the start, so good to have a huge long leg to get stuck into right away after two short picks in the quarry. Was struggling more to read the bigger shapes than yesterday. Only had a couple of km to go when the thunder and rain started.

Very happy in general with the JK after a pretty rubbish training build up to it. Three good runs and only a few mins down, so something to aim at for next year. I enjoyed the terrain, and thought the maps were great, though others thought otherwise.

Jog to start.

JK Day 2, Merthyr Common. M45L, 9.6 km. Expected the pits to be tricky, so went cautiously to #1 but missed it all the same. Less than a minute lost, though, and all went smoothly after that. Some nice fast terrain. Enjoyed being able to push the pace a bit and feeling pretty good.

JK Sprint, Swansea University. M45, 2.4 km. It was a lovely day, so enjoyed the atmosphere at the sprint. The course was not really very technical, so ran it fairly cleanly. Just a few dithers due to running too hard to think straight. Happy not to be too far down (7th).
