Event race (Midland champs) 1:04:31 [5] 8.65 km (7:28 / km) +89m 7:06 / km
(sick) shoes: Inov8 Oroc 280
coughing all the way round and I was really wishing I hadn't bothered going down. According to the splits, I was leading the first two controls and then my lead slowly dissipated as the race carried on. I found it really hard to run because my whole body was sore and even though the navigation was mainly good, I struggled to tell the difference between the stupid "dead" and "alive" oak trees. the only one I knew for sure, was Major Oak, and that was nearly at the end anyway.
Everyone was commenting on how nice and runnable it was, and I can't help feeling that if I didn't have this stupid cough thing then I could have won. I think I might have got something serious, so we're going to the doctor's tomorrow, but I hope it's not too bad! hopefully I'll be better tomorrow or Tuesday, and I can start training again :)
