Event: Tiomila 2008
 

Try and watch some of Tio-Mila on the web this weekend - maybe catch D on it. Erland Slokvik is running in Nydalens first team for the 27th time this weekend. Beat that record!

PS: Actually he somehow ended up in the second team so that record has ended I guess.

New tyres. Down to Riks Hospitalet and then up west side of the beck and round Sognsvann anti-clockwise pretty hard.

Round Bantjern. Calf test..inconclusive.

Back home pretty late.
Still calf niggles..wondering if its more cramps than anything - dehydration?

No time anyway...off to Den Haag early.

Calf

Dipped out on Oslo City Cup 3 because of calf and headed for Ullevaalseter on bike instead. Hit it hard on a nice night. Unfortunately got a flat on the way back and like a prat didn't have a pump or levers even though I did have a spare tube, so had an embarrassing walk pushing the bike for 45 minutes. Wouldn't have been so bad if I could have run with it but with a bad calf and wearing spds that probably wasn't a great plan.

C • Calf ... 2

Flight back Prestwick-Torp.

Got a massage on dodgy calf from K but didn't think I should risk running on it, but couldn't possibly stay in on such a stunning day with 17 degrees at 5pm so had a blast round Sognsvann on the Helium. Still a patch or two of snow in the sheltered bits, and the lake is still 70% covered but the folk were out with their barbecues at the south end, making it kind of surreal. Plenty of runners. Summer's coming!!

Event: British Relays
 

Calf was still very stiff but could walk on it much better. No chance of doing the relays but happily watched the racing in the sunshine instead. Would prefer to have been having another tilt at Culbin though.
Maroc 7th in Womens Premier (Hazel, K & Sarah)

Drive down to Kilmarnock dropping off C in Glasgow.
