Training Log Archive: Frostbite

Seven Arches. Nice evening. I set off looking to run quite quick and might have overdone it a bit, I was suffering after Bywater but still going ok. Then just after the arches I had a rapidly developing digestive situation that had to be dealt with. After a 5 minute break I just jogged home.

C • Five minutes!!! 3

West Haigh and New Park Springs, Brown course. Very slow, just plodding around. One mistake on a pit where I was stood a few yards from it but couldn't see either the pit or the flag, went away and found a bigger unmapped pit, came back to the right place and found it the second time. 1 minute lost.

Many many minutes lost just bumbling along, couldn't go any faster again. 20th out of 25. Al Buckley won in 52.

Seven arches. Couldn't go any faster.

Lindley Bridge to Fewston Dam and back. Pleasant scenery, miserable day. The middle section of the valley from Dob Park onwards has gate after gate every 100m or so, hard to get going.

Very wet and quite cold.

Don't know why I bother saying that. Only 3 days this year have not been wet and cold.

C • Wet and cold 1

Woodhouse Ridge and Sugarwell Hill. Absolutely died coming back up the Ridge. I had to walk up the last big hill. Poor.
