Event: WNL 4 Painswick
 

Westbury. Moved up a group to Chris Elsons coached group. A mixed group, the seniors that would of been in the Deans / my group 2 or 3 years back, some joniors, not the very best but still good, some of the quicker ladies. Not all westbury some students and some Bristol Ac included Alison Hurford. 4 * 1300m on the grass 5.06, 4.58, 4.59, 5.00. Middle of the quicker group so OK. Took the first one slightly steadyer but more like it for the next 3 good job there was not another. Grass was still a bit slipery. quite a lot of the group had spikes on... maybe I should dig mine out...

With Paul and John. Was raining when we got to Aust decided to not head over the bridge where the weather looked worse. back up the 10 course across to Titherington Charfiled, Wooton up the hill at the top it was pissing down and cold just below the clouid level. Paul and myself bailed out and when down to Dursly, slimbridge RB and back on the A38. All fairly steady a bit of pace up the hill out of Wooton but still only up to 155 bpm there.

Bok training from the golden heart. a bit damp and cold setting out. 4 so better than last week. Had some amusment when we got to the river where it was flowing over the path about a foot deep and we all traversed along the fence for 30m which was OK untill a planck was missing. Very steady.

Cycle out to westbury training and back on the Scale. Just wanted to check the front brake did not get worse with a bit of riding after I fixed it this afternoon. Cold expecialy comming back wished I had the thicker gloves and polar buff on.

Westbury training Wendy / Mikes group. Out to portway along to bridge valley up past zoo and short way back. Longer than I have been doing recently on my rare Monday outings but having missed the Sunday ride I was feeling OK. when we came out onto the portway we were just a bit back of the young lads and Loren so I deceded to see if I could catch them up. Took about 2km to get up to Loren at the back, kept the effort up all the way to Bridge valley then joged back a good way to get to the back of the group. very pleased I could still go along at a good pace probobly a bit under 6 min miles for a couple of miles. was feeling a bit stiff coming back just came along at the back.

Pulled a muscel in my neck somehow at the night event. Don't remember doing it but it got very uncomfortable overnight. Pissing down so not tempting to go on the Sunday ride even if the neck was not hurting.
