At the end of last week I was pretty sure that I was almost recovered, but the weekend has knocked me right back worse than I was before. :/ So i'm going to concentrate on recovering atm, so rest rest rest. :/

Event: Burnham Beeches National Event
 

Burnham Beeches - FCC Race 2.
Hmm...

Warm-up - Pretty big warm-up, jog, and lots of dynamic stretching.
Warm-down - 5-10 minute jog around the parking field trying to think up positive things from the race and things that I have learnt - DON'T LET PEOPLE DISTRACT ME. :/ :/ still managed to burst into tears when i got back to the minibus - thanks kirstin for trying to cheer me up! (:

Event: JOK Chasing Sprint
 

All my warming up and down before and after both races. Knew I should do quite a lot as I didn't want to completely stiffen up for the next day. (: Proud I actually did lots though, and stretching too. (:

JOK Chasing Sprint - Prologue.
From some map-geeking I could tell that it would be easy to lose quite a lot of time by getting confused with paths and not having a definite plan for each leg. So I took number one pretty slowly and was happy to get it bang on. (: Gained confidence from that and sped up a bit - but still not really fast as one silly mistake could put me way down for the chase.
One thing i need to work on is being unecessarily hesitant, on number 6 I think I lost a bit of time checking my map when I wasn't gaining anything from looking at it. Apart from that a good steady race, with not much time lost. (: Putting me in a good position (6th) for the start of the chase. (:

JOK Chasing Sprint - The Chase. (:

A very enjoyable run with Elle and JonX. (:

Shopping in Glasgow all day too. (: Thankfully my blisters didn't suffer too bad from walking around all day. Succesful trip; could almost be a strength session. :P

FVO Night 'O at Dumyat.
I stupidly decided to wear my old inovs as my swoops were drying as I had washed them. But now I remember why I gave them to mum, they don't agree with my feet!
So I stopped after number 6, and now I have blisters on both my heels! :/ :/

C • New shoes? 1

Warm-up up up to the start.
+ warm down all the way back from number 6 - which happened to be almost the furthest point away!

With being off school this week I have quite a lot of spare time. So as I was feeling a bit bored I decieded to do some pilates as I missed the usual monday sesh. (:

Feeling quite a bit better - caught up on some sleep.
