Just caught up - Stickless, if your son hasn't yet sorted out his accomodation, there is a lovely campsite at Holme Pierrpoint (spelling?), about 3 miles from the start of the race. Assuming he is a camping type!
What: 30k on bike in fericious winds. Finished the cirucit in one hour and 43 secs - next time I will drop under one hour....
Run later, 5 miles ish fast, then a swim. Phew!
Why: Arresting decline into Waynetta Slobdom
Actually, today was really funny - it was my town's annual half mara and I didn't do it (been feeling a bit jaded, sore and under the weather of late) - felt like a kid bunking off school as I cycled past the back markers at 45 kph. Still glad I didn't do it - horrible, flat, windswept course and everyone looked miserable. Especially the woman who beat me last year in the last kilometre. Oh dear, I really shouldn't have such evil thoughts.....
Really, really really chuffed.
What: 18 miles, in 4hr 20 ish. I had been getting really scared about doing another long run, so I just did it.
I ran from Cambridge to St. Ives, almost all of it along footpaths. The day had not started brilliantly, feeling sick and still jet-lagged, so I stuck to run4/walk1, rather than 5/1 as I had planned, but I got round, and was even still run/walking at the end (as opposed to walk/walking.) Ok, I took two short breaks but I managed always to get going again, in spite of cramps.
Footing was mostly good. I got a bit tired of dusty farm tracks, and one stretch along a flood bank was crisscrossed with huge deep cracks due to the drought, some hidden by long grass, but I escaped falling down them. No real map reading errors either.
As I said, seriously chuffed.
If I can do two more of these picnic runs before Abingdon I'll consider I've done about all I can to train for it.
Racers all, run well. I've told Will to go say hi to you all at Nottingham, and sent him off with the list of names and numbers.
WW, have a good tri! I'm sad to miss mine this year, but I'm away that weekend.
Good luck in the Tri, WW, and to all racers this weekend.
Just did lazy 3mile recovery run in the sunshine. Lovely.
Had a stonkin' run tonight, followed by a sick-making swim session.
Sitting here with a pink gin now, feeling a lot better about my running!
