JK Day Four - Relay

Relay day of the JK and back to 1:10000 thankfully, and a short course for my poor old legs.  3.4km in 29:14, we finished in 33rd which we were all really pleased with.  Now for some rest before the Devon Event at Wheal Florence on Wednesday and the Cornwall Event at The Eden Project on Thursday...... all go.

JK Day Three - Braunton Burrows

 What a difference a day makes, goodbye mud and the rain, hello sanddunes and sunshine.  11.3km today in excellent terrain.  1:15000 difficult to read due the nature of the terrain, but battled around in around 125min. (Waiting for actually result as there is an error due to late start!!)  Anyway fairly happy just need to be more confident in the control circle.  Tomorrow the JK Relay, only 3.2km so nice way to finish the event.

JK Day 2 - Cookworthy 3rd Apr 2010

Mud, Mud, Mud. As you can see from the state of the map it was incredibly muddy out in the forest today.  We had 9.5km 205m and it felt good if slow. 116min.  I was cautious at first as I haven’t run on a 1:15000 map for a long while.  But soon got into it and enjoyed the experience up to control 20, when tiredness set in  and some silly mistakes started to appear.  On the sand dunes tomorrow at Braunton Burrows plenty of time to enjoy the contour detail as M35L is 11.2km!!!!

JK Sprint - Bicton College 2nd April 2010

Really enjoyable return to my former college, saw bits I hadn't seen before.  Local knowledge did help a little in around the buildings.  My time 26:16 winning time as I left 18:50ish.  After the race the last bit of sport was pushing cars out of the car park!!!!  Tomorrow sees us at Cookworthy for a Classic race 11.9km 250m.  I am I fit enough!!  

Jk Results Day One 

Devon and Cornwall Double Header 20th and 21st March

This weekend was a weekend of contrasts, Day One Inny very wet bashing throught the trees and Day Two very hot open scrub land.  Really wanted to get these two events under my belt as it would be good to see how I faired on the second with the JK just two weeks away. As it turned out day two was 9.0km 300m, which really was a test and I was surprised to find at download that I had taken 1:33:10, which I was happy with.  Even though it felt an age I was out, I have stopped taking a watch as I just put myself under pressure all the time.  So a few more training runs and I will be all set for the JK!!!
