Dark and White Trailquest from Carsington Water.
Wet evening but mostly on roads/decent tracks so fine. Got 16 out of 18 controls but was a little late back (200 - 11 = 189 points). Killian cleared the lot with a few minutes to spare. As he passed me on a hill it was easy to see how. Results: http://darkwhitecycling.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2...

Golf lesson (driving).
Achilles still grumbling away.

Golf. Rabbits friendly away at Crossland Heath.
Nice course and mostly decent play, although my driver stayed in the bag. Our team won :-)

Left Achilles sore this morning. Not surprising I guess. Hopefully it'll settle quickly without a race for a couple of weeks.

British Middle Distance Champs, Leith Hill.
M50, 4.5km 150m.
Tricky tricky tricky. Spiked #1 and consequently missed #2 due to overconfidence (1 min). Lost contact on way to #3 but recovered. Big miss at #5 where i overshot and rebounded off the rhododendrons SE of #6. (2 mins). Got my act together after that with only hesitations thereafter. Others struggled much more and as a result i scraped the victory by 1 min from Quentin. Beaten by Neil on M45.
Achilles ok but slightly sore later.

C • Congrats 3

Good warm up to and from the arena and around the car park. Some warm down back to car park after.

Spectating the (as usual ) controversial British Sprint Champs.

Considered a test jog but never got round to it. Therefore Sunday will be my first run. Fingers crossed. ...

C • Olympic park 1

Golf with Andy and Roy. 26 Stableford points (16/10). Not good.
Good news though is that Achilles was fine throughout.

Huddersfield, Buckstones, Denshaw, Greenfield. Perfect day for cycling.
