Open 5 run in Reeth

Open 5 bike in Reeth - riding for Charlie

Wandsworth trog. Felt really tired towards the end of the week and wasn't really up for racing this weekend. Was ok the minute we started running though, trotting along at an ok pace and remembering to keep running through the very wet sections! Covered head to toe in bog within the first couple of miles.....
Was comfortably in 2nd most of then way to Nichola Jackson who was storming it. Slight detour and some heather bashing lost me a good few minutes in the last 2miles and put me in nickys sights. With half a mile to go, Nicky came past. I said hello and that I'd been expecting this for 18.5miles, but she was working hard and I realised I should really be trying harder if I could still speak. Just couldn't bring myself to do so! So we finished with the same time on the clock with Nicky in second me in third. Where has my desire to try harder in races gone?

Still, not a bad time and a good marker for howarth hobble. Who knows if I can slightly faster....

Warm up with helm before running home with keiren and heading to watch t2!

Run over queens road to gillingate and then onto the old canal path. Solo 6x45s off 2:15:

1) 241m (5:00/mile)
2) 225m (5:21/mile)
3) 209m (5:46/mile) dodging football team
4) 209m (5:46/mile)
5) 225m (5:21/mile)
6) 225m (5:21/mile)

Best section was near football pitches, bit too much dodging people and dogs further along.
