Middle, dreadful start, which i blame on focusing too much on catching up people, losing, 2:45 on 1, 30s on 2 and 3, 4 good 30s loss on 5, 6-8 clean, dreadful mistake on 9, getting near to 17, dont know what i was doing, awful, 2:45, then clean to the finish but a couple of slow legs, losing about 7:30, a 35 would have been better, but it was a very tricky area and no one was particularly clean, 13th brit i think

sprint, similar mistakes to what i was making last week in training, visited 21 before 2, then turned back on my self, then changed direction again, losing 25s, silly route to 7, 10s, 8-17 all pretty quick and clean with 5s of quickest each time, 8th brit before the mp where i saw what i thought was my control from 300m off so ran to it and didnt check codes, then because i was in the wrong place, messed up on RC to 19 and hit 20 first, +45s loss, but gained a couple of seconds getting quickest split to 20, then angrily ran 21 quickly but lost 10s on 22, disapointing run, knowing i could have been well up there, should of ran a 15:45-15:50 with ease. but only running two sprints since last years jk, lack of practise showing

WU and relatively long WD

Jogged round model with will and jack! Legs were very surprisingly okay!!

Loughrigg race: started too quickly, alongside Todd for first 15 mins, pissed off because breathing was horrible but legs were great, so eased off a tad at the top of the climb, reasonable descending, taken by two, but holding off and the sloppy parts, 13th out of 195, pretty pleased, felt awful with breathing at the end, should be ready to race the jk nicely! Didn't want to miss this race though

Cruise round birkrigg and to Richards, couple of good segment times unintended, Stravas a good little app!

Out with Connor, got to the east side coniston peer took photo's and came back on ourselves as I didn't have much time before work, tired

WU and WD from sprint

sprint around Windermere, little WU so jogged first 3 controls, decided to just stick at a slowish pace between 4 and 4:30 k's to focus on navigation, other than visting wrong control (seriously need to stop doing this) nav was fine, good sprint, couple of map errors, Will caught me 2:30 towards end as he was tempoing it

estimate on distance for now, alot of climb though, reallt good pace sat in behind will running up to loughrigg from ambelside, ran across half the length of the fell and worked out where the start was, then did 75% of a 4.2k course, hit all fine but 6 RC i took was dreadful, running great on the hills along with will, nav is getting there, followed by a run back to the car, lots of hills, good weekend, need to concentrate at JK
