Got cramp in my thigh mid afternoon, never had that before and out the blue but I though I'd give this evening a go anyway. Felt horrendous, quickly got worse particularly with the uphill, eventually had to stop and walk as I was struggling so much. tried to get going but everything had just seazed up and stopped working. Had to ring Amy to come and pick me up. Something is really not good again, this is the worst I have been since before treatment. back to the Drs - need to insist on another blood test.

Despite having two rest days I got cramp in my right calf last night and felt pretty terrible in the morning. I got a few things sorted though that had been stressing me out and felt a bit better in the afternoon. This is the worst I've felt since before Easter.

Home from Hucknall. Despite taking it fairly easy the last few days, and legs no longer achy, I'm still feeling particularly fatigued; maybe this is another small fatigue spat. Will take some rest over the coming days and then get back to it.

S6D Day 6 - Coulmony & Belivat

On tired legs I can't say I was looking forwards to this too much but I loved this race.

Didn't start well running over the wrong hill from the start losing some time and then getting hills confused on the way to 3 losing a minute or so and lost more time faffing leaving 3. Spotted Jegor cathcing me (1 min) on the way into 4 and by 5, which I also missed by 30s or so just as Speaky (2min) caught me a pack had formed with GG (3 min) also. My pace had been pretty laboured from the start but now knew I had to stay with this pack or risk those who started close in front (Sander, Oleg, James T and Will G) getting the benefit of the toe, so upped the pace a little. Was fine in the forest but was struggling a little through the marshes.

A few slight misses from GG and Speaky helped me stay in touch and we were soon joined by Baptiste. James T also joined the party on the way to 11. This is the last point where I felt I struggled, I was starting to drop off but put in a burst of pace out of 11 to recatch the pack; we were soon joined by Oleg. The pace dropped a little at this point - I think most were happy to just enjoy the great course and terrain. James T and Baptiste pushed on after the road crossing, I was happy to sit in with GG and Speaky and enjoyed the rest of the course. Spotted OJ ahead to 22 but it took us till 31 to catch him despite only the odd wobble en route. First feeling of any fatigue was heading up the last hill to 32. Great finish to the S6D.

S6D Day 5 - Roseisle

Great area but my brain or legs weren't working. Tried to keep a steady pace and keep in control of the navigation. There were lots of small wobbles along the way but had generally kept error to <30s. Came crashing down at 26 and 27 though) 26 was a short leg in the open where I made a parallel error off a bad bearing (as yesterday) and lost nearly 1min. At 27, concentration had gone, knew where I was 2/3rds of the way on this leg but then got depressions mixed up, then headless chickened between depression before stopping and relocating properly - nearly 3mins gone hear and Baptiste past me. Stuck behind batiste over the last few controls but he was runing just to fast for me to stick with to the end. Over 7mins binned in total, I think tiredness was the main factor here.

Running warm up/down 9:41 [1] 1.46 km (6:39 / km) +1m 6:38 / km

S6D Day 4 - Loch of Boath (WRE)

A fairly easy area. Heavy legs but pushed as much as I could until I made a monumental parallel error out of 10, running across the open and up the wrong hill. Took me a while to relocate and then pushed hard to get back on track but just tired myself out and lost some motivation from 12 till the end. Really frustrated with myself on this one.

Running warm up/down 4:00 [1] 0.6 km (6:40 / km)
