Really cool in the snow at the top of Porter and Limb valley! Felt like a little kid I was so excited. Did go for one slide on a road in Totley but managed to save it and not land on my bum.

Cycling 2:47:46 [3] 58.75 km (21.0 kph) +980m
This ride was a bit longer than I'd usually go for on a Wednesday due to the occasion. Kyhil and I went with the "B minus" pace group, but there were a couple of "C" pace riders with us trying to push themselves for a longer and slightly faster ride - so not the fastest ride for us. I didn't mind, it was good fun, and there were lots of people in both A and B rides (and the mountain bikers) dressed in santa suits / elf suits and with tinsel-wrapped bikes.
As always on the UoSCC Christmas Ride, we went out the A57 to Ladybower, down to Hathersage, along the Hope Valley to Castleton and up the infamous Winnats Pass, before turning around back to Hathersage and then back into Sheffield via Surprise View.
Felt quite good actually, I think even if the ride was a bit faster I would have coped OK.

Running intervals 22:34 [5] 5.3 km (4:15 / km)
ahr:174 max:181
This went better than I expected considering the race on Sunday. Considered doing 5 but the last 1200 rep was 5 seconds slower than the second last, so it was time to throw it in.

Out-and-back course beginning on Loxley Rd and turning around at Low Bradfield by way of the road to the West of Damflask Reservoir. Named because at the end of the race you are given a Christmas pudding. Many people run in Santa suits and there is a band playing carols.
Didn't expect big things and didn't get them. Started hard but was already starting to pull up by about 2km. Legs fine but lungs / body just not there - HR sluggish to rise. Got a small second wind around the 6.5km mark but it only lasted until we went back up the hill at 8km. Finished 11th.
Eilish McColgan (finalist in 5000m at Rio Olympics and 2017 World Champs) finished second overall (men and women) in a handy 32.23.
Jogging warm up/down 14:38 [3] 2.13 km (6:52 / km) +51m 6:08 / km
