| Girly run: warm up down to goodwin with zanthe then up conduit to bole hill, across towards rivelin but didn't go past the farm due to horse's rear legs being next to the crossing...
ran back through the cemetary up lydgate lane then back to bole hill, did a loop around the park and out on heavygate road.
Back via ingrids on springvale.
Legs felt quite heavy on the hills but with a bit more rest i think they will have renewed speed in them! |

| Mounre Mountain Marathon Day 2 - B course
The second day was a mass start which made things a bit confusing as, unless you knew the people you were chasing or were chasing you, you were just hoping you were still ahead or had caught them!
As we knew Nick Barrable and his partner were uncatchable in 1st (they were 55mins or so ahead after day 1) we just had to make sure we didnt get overtaken by too much!
There were a team 7 mins behind who we didnt no but then there was half of team beanstirk in a team 14mins behind, we caught them up at number 7 but they had a quicker decent to 8 than us so we had a good race from then on to keep them less than 14mins ahead!
Had a bit of a death between 9 and 10 and slowed right down but managed to keep moving.
In the end they beat us by 5 mins ish on the second day so we kept our 2nd place overall! |

Thursday Sep 11 |
| Running 1:45:00 [3] 8.0 mi (13:06 / mi) | |
| |
| Fell run around the cairngorm with rach, zanthe, james and callum. Ran gently up the hill and then hit the ridge where wind tried to constantly take u off the path! Past that we headed up a rocky gully out of the wind!
Fun down hill over heather then hit a track. 100m down that and i crashed. really well. my finger went into a rock and really really hurt! felt quite sick after that and pace went very slowly. Met zanthe james and callum on the road after they ran ahead.
turns out i havent broken the finger but i can barely bend it past flat horizontal. working on the movement, hopefully it will improve quickly but its bloomin painful atm! In my classic style it looks like i havent done anything to it! |

| Achlean orienteering, mass start race. After yesterday took it very very steady. head to head with JT for 1 and 2 and after that was unsure of a couple of controls, was blind at 5 and 7 was slightly in the wrong place so i found it and decided it wasnt my control. All in all fairly accurate. |
| cycling 1:30:00 [4] 20.0 mi (4:30 / mi) | |
| |
| Ride up the cairngorm with zanthe, andy, james and callum, was very very windy! I missed the triple chain set on wils bike but made it up to the top! Quick photo stop then back down. As i left the car park i nearly came off the road and hill!
Only made 58km per hr this time on the way down, little unsure of the wind....not a patch on james' 55mph! |

| Alvie orienteering, felt absolutely nackered but made it to the line o bit which was the main training exercise of the day. followed the line then headed back cutting a couple of the last controls off.
Only error was in the same place as when it was at the scottish which i quickly corrected because i recognised the error from before. |

| Ran the first 15 mins of hash but very very slowly, had no energy left to do it so turned back before it went onto the open area. |

| Ride from ulverston to coniston and back, out via torver, back via the east side of the lake.
Set off thinking thank god the promised weather hadn't arrived, about 15mins into the ride took that back....it was minging! lasted about an hour before i noticed i was a bit cold but the east of the lake road was sheltered (even if i did have to slow down for some cars which then paniced when they met 2 vans coming the other way....)
When i emerged onto the less sheltered road back to the A590 it got a bit windy, when i got onto the A590 it was a lot windy!! in the face windy! even so was glad i went out especially to see the bemused looks on peoples faces as i rode by in the wet :-) |
