Running warm up/down 17:00 [2] 2.0 mi (8:30 / mi)
Running race 18:21 [5] 3.1 mi (5:55 / mi) +20m 5:48 / mi
Surprisingly pleasant course given entirely in the sports grounds of Manchester Rugby club/Cheadle Hulme CC, reminded me of a school XC course. There was a girl doing in barefoot!
Was 98% grass, cricket pitch lap, lap of grounds x3
Took first lap easy and was out on my own, wound it up from there.
Felt like there was more in the tank
Running warm up/down 12:20 [3] 1.7 mi (7:15 / mi)

Running warm up/down 18:00 [3] 2.3 mi (7:50 / mi) +30m 7:31 / mi
Urban Orienteering 42:05 [5] 5.5 mi (7:39 / mi) +60m 7:24 / mi
Bit of a farce for the first three controls as everything was so overgrown couldn't see/find half the paths and the ones that I could go down were waist high with overgrowth.
Took a while to get the legs going after that, and even then hardly flying.
Made a couple of small mistakes, won't bore you with the details so long after the event but all route choices seemed correct following review.
42:05, would have got nowhere near Kris Jones' 35:20 I reckon, think if all had gone well maybe low 37's, high 36 at a push, although hard to say all told
Running warm up/down 14:00 [3] 1.7 mi (8:14 / mi) +25m 7:53 / mi

Running warm up/down 34:00 [3] 4.3 mi (7:54 / mi) +75m 7:30 / mi
Running intervals 33:30 [4] 5.2 mi (6:27 / mi)
2.33, 71, 2.32, 69, 2.31, 69, 2.28, 68, 2.28, 68
Very pleased with the time, but boy it was hard work
Had no one to work with and none of the other 4 did the whole session anyway. Also very humid. But a boost for me, really.
I say I had no one to work with - I could have had, except the guy who sat in behind me for the first 3 800s, was nowhere on the 4's, dropped out, then threw in a 2.21 on the last one.
Running warm up/down 15:00 [3] 2.0 mi (7:30 / mi)

Running 43:25 [3] 5.9 mi (7:22 / mi) +110m 6:57 / mi
A good route, thought direct via Hollins Hill would be shorter but perhaps it isn't.
Or if I took the best route through Buck Wood it might not be, but I climbed straight away and had to drop a little to make the bridleway path that supposedly passes a trig point but I'll check that out another day
Moving quite well, could have ran a lot longer tonight.
Running 22:00 [1] 2.0 mi (11:00 / mi) +40m 10:21 / mi
