British Relays Cragg Estate and Chesterhope Common Women's Open 5.1km 110m
2nd leg after Hazel. Managed to persuade my bod this was a great idea, and even managed to overtake Jet and SLOW on the way, although not a great time. Fiona did a cracking last leg to give us 3rd. Bonus of us winning the UK Relay League. Yeah!
Now time for a holiday and getting properly well.

British Champs Callaly & Thrunton W35L 6.7km 280m
It was always going to be hard to do a fast time from first start but I did try! Waded quite well through the first half of the course, turning on 3 controls on the way. Didn't enjoy the 2.5km path run in the middle funnily enough! Last half of the course just tried to be clean and hang in there - would have been nice to have some elephant tracks / other people around for company. Particularly at no 14 where I found a boulder not on the map between the rhody and "real" boulder (and dropped 2 mins, bah!). Very surprised to come 3rd and only 3 mins down on late starting Kim & Jenny.
(Nice to hear Hector reckoned it was 30secs/km slower at the beginning of the day compared to the end!)
Sinuses urg!

4km walk/jog to the start.

Proper relapse, feeling really stuffed up and ill:-(

Aborted lunchtime long run. The most tired I can remember being in 20 months (multiple-child sleepovers) - sinusitis in danger of coming back. Getting stressed by lack of hill training for the quad now.......

Sneaky Braco and back whilst H was sleeping and the Simpson-O'Donovan clan were playing. Very steady, headwind there but nice back!

Nearly shifted this sinusitis .... fingers crossed
