Less said about this the better - went of fin the wrong mindset - stumbled through the first 7 controls and then cracked my knee while 'leaping' a wall - this then reduced my alreayd pathetic pace to a crawl so threw the towel in and retired!!!

Not a good day in the office by any means - this sort of long hard race is what I usually pride myself on doing - but completely let myself down - have to work on the mental preparation in future and keep throwing myself at these type of events as need to improve!

Event: GBR WOC Selection Race/LOC NWOL (Middle)
 

Not too bad a run - made approx 10min of proper errors rest was just fitness and hesitations.

Area was proper technical and of a level that i really struggled with - must do more often.

Main error occurred in last third again - this time when I was passing Pete as distracted myself and went off at 90 degrees then continued to just make error after error tryign to re catch him... poor.

Easy run to work - quiet tired today and felt sluggish, but did some strewthcing when got to gym all good

Went climbing with Jayne and Rachel for the first time in ten years - even my fingers ache!

Run to work with full bag and carrying club banner - slightly worrying that I was actually quickewr than yesterday with no kit - must just prove I don't run that fast regardless.

General run about putting out and collecting controls in for the 1st of the Trail Challenge series, followed in the rear markers for a bit then jogged in to the finish for a beer, pleasant evening.

Easy run home - no figures cause forgot to charge watch - Doh!
