Event: British Middle Distance Championships
 

Knee not good. Really struggled with tussocks to 1, then fairly slow rest of the way. Odd mistakes at 3, 11, 15. Rest ok but slow. Route choices not too bad.

Really hurting after I finished so probably best not to be running again.

Warm up and going around the controls on the warm up map. Fell in to a walk towards the end as hurting a bit and wanting to save myself for the race (!)

Course 1 - Splits

Event: British Sprint Championships
 

Heat 1C

Made an effort to run this through but found it start to get uncomfortable around control 10 onwards. Thought course was fairly technical around controls 14-19.

Did ok but a little disappointed to be so slow. Was too hesitant as to deciding the route out of the controls.

Final B1.

Much less technical, I thought, than the qualifier. Almost ran in to pond on way to 1. Caught up with loads of other people in way around 2-5.

Big error after 9 - went down steps only to find dead end! Didn't really need to think after 13 as all seemed easy.

Better performance than earlier - 13th last - but knee really hurt on way to start and after I finished.

Quali - Course H1C - Splits

Final - Course FB1 - Splits

Jogged around most of Duncan's courses on his University/Brandon Hill map. Time includes a few minutes of hanging around so managed to keep going okish.

Felt fairly comfortable for running in shoes that aren't Swoops for a change. Was careful going down but found that the knee was less happy with the hills today - going up the Christmas Steps and up Brandon Hill being the points where it hurted. Painkillers worn off now so no surprise that I don't feel quite so good as I did!

Still gives me some confidence that I'll be able to run the two sprints on Saturday.

Don't know if Adam was confused as to the sport today - seemed to be a lot of rugby tacking going on...
