British Sprint Relay champs.

Hahaha. Nope. Not through the jetlag and travel hangover it turns out.
A debacle of a start, as I ripped my map trying to open it. Subsequently was very careful with the other two bits of tape keeping it closed, and only got it open well past the start triangle, where I was then stuck well back in the pack going down a narrowed walkway. Accelerated once we were out of this, only to loose my footing and faceplant/toboggan down a steep grass slope. Classy. First part of the course was chaos in the accomm area of the uni, with plenty of uncrossable hedges and dead-end controls. Being mid-pack I was colliding with girls both going in and out of every control, which was very irritating and just meant you could get zero flow or map reading done.
The course then opened out into fast flat running, where upon I quickly realised my body was not in fast mode! Really struggled through the course, and brought our team in a couple of minutes down. The others made up the time and brought us back to win, which kind of masked my terrible start.

Disappointing to be so far off the pace, though trying to be realistic given the travel and associated weariness and risk of bugs (felt off this morning, but Rat tests are negative)

Bit of a route choice exercise in south York. Legs feeling ok, lungs feeling ok. Fingers crossed getting through the jetlag.

Slightly longer lap of the fields with Tommy. legs less wobbly than yesterday but lungs more laboured

Finally arrived in UK. Got out in the evening to stretch the legs. Others nicely loop and scooped for me :)

Travel day. Ughh. Long haul travel is still terrible.
