British Relays, Cannop Ponds, 6.1km 175m climb. Women's Premier leg 2 with Fi and Nastia.
Fi decided to do the controls in a different order than specified and came back in the 2nd pack (phew!). Just kept it clean and safe and ran hard. Collected up a few whippersnappers along the way and managed to beat them back and finish 3rd. Surprised at how ok my legs felt.

British Champs, New Beechenhurst, W35L, 7.6km 230m climb
Set off really well but completely blew no 5 - 90 deg error, aghh!. Disgracefully sloppy. But.... it really focussed my mind for the rest of the course, particularly nailing the pits in the middle of nowhere and dodgy ditches at the end, and I really dug in and worked hard on the hills. Paid off - got the win!!

Cycle back with the hubby. A whole 26 mins of just "us" - nice!

Leg loosener, to see if I could still run after Wednesday's activity. Bit of a sore left hip but otherwise not too bad :-)

Forest of Dean Long Classic (but 3 weeks early, and starting at Parkend instead)

Epic but fabulous and very chuffed to get such a ride under my belt and still be standing at the end. Hottest day of the year = bonus naff tan lines.

Family bike ride with H on the back, at M speed. (~ 2hours total) Grand day out.

Kicked out west of Gloucester and wiggled around the non-busy minor roads to the NW before heading into and around the FoD. Lots of map faffs for route-finding.
