Training Log: Nobs

Up.

Carnthey Handicap on the Seat

Spent the day in Glasgow at a conference so was feeling a bit lethargic going into this, but was keen to put out a good effort after Saturday. Good up the steep climb over Nether - caught Rodrigo on the descent down to Dunsapie, but then had a complete brain fart in Meadowfield Park, taking a terrible line having to double back on myself. Climb up Whinnie was more controlled then a bit slippy on the descent. Started to see Kieren coming up the bog but took a different line up the crags following JT - unfortunately into another banana of a line. Lost site of Kieran as a result but actually started feeling pretty good on the climb and over the top. Good effort up Galloping Glen and managed to reign in all the boys except Dash who just pipped me at the end. Good solid effort. Probabaly 30sec to 1min slower due to the shit lines but managed to salvage fastest time, happy days.

Down via pub for pints and dinner. Lovely.

Easy hermit with Fruiters and Dash. Enjoying the rainforest vibes.

Long run with Jamie. Started with a handicap recce round the seat before a lap of Duddingston/HH and then back via meadows. Tired and bonked for most, not helped by the heat. Still an enjoyable one.

Ben Lomond hill race - except hardly a race as I died a death early doors and ended up taking things chill with Colm and Tim. Bit annoyed at myself for not fighting harder but felt horrid from the start, absolutely nothing in the legs. Maybe the heat or maybe just a bad day. Need to get better at slogging it out when the legs don’t show up.

Jog back with Sasha. Really silly idea, absolutely shattered.

Runch round the bog.
