Pootle in the pool - arms felt a bit nackered to do much but got a fair few lengths in and tried to see how well front crawl would go...not very is the answer

Hartcliffe Hill fell race - decided to see if legs liked running yet.
Went ok, legs felt pretty dead once we'd reached the top of the hill but I'd gained on the woman ahead enough to overtake her just before the descent - took good distance out of the peeps around me on the steep descent but legs had had it coming through the field and had no pace left as the woman behind overtook me again and Faz caught me and overtook just before the 'sprint' to the line.
Still not bad, 3 mins faster than last year and 3rd woman woop! lots of cake for tea although couldn't match Zanthe's 7 pieces of cake per race, only managed 5...

Recovery road ride with Rhodri - rode from loz's out to hollow meadows then towards strines, low bradfield, dungworth and stannington then back via rivelin bank - what a climb!
Felt good however when pushed it a bit harder up some of the later hills the legs were not particularly happy.
Lovely day and not quite sunburn weather!
