Event: British Sprint Championships
 

Got caught the wrong side of the flower bed to 2, fell over hard at the bottom of the hill coming out of 3, then just got into my head about 2 compulsory crossing points between 7 & 8 & then up the road. Did it all, but hadn't clocked actually number 8 was at a crossing point that didn't count as a crossing point....went within 2 feet of the control, even watched people punching it, but didn't punch it myself.
After that, it was all OK, would have been 4th & into the A final. As it was, I was NC in the B final :o(

Legs tired from pushing in the quali's, & glut really sore ? from the fall.
Scrappy & bitty. Couldn't work out the spirally bit on the overpass & spent a minute or so faffing.
Steph had an awesome run, & the win will do wonders for her confidence.



Disappointing. Should have been 4th in the A final instead.

Lazy

Started on the C course with Holly, but Rawnsley isn't child friendly on either the ups or the downs. Hols did make it further up the ups than I thought she would, tough. Made it to 2 and a half & decided to free-wheel back to assembly.
Had forgotten how to use SPD's. At least with a bit of warmer, drier weather for the next 6 months I may get a bit more practice...

The rest of the class were absent, so I had an hour of 1:1 with Andy. By the end, I had done 2 lots of 50m front crawl with long breaths and wasn't too out of breath :o)
Wish I hadn't done the forward & backward rolls & handstands - my head doesn't know which way is up now!!
Progress, and 1 year to go to be able to swim properly...
