Dales weekend day 2 - Yockenthwaite. Pretty foul weather - driving rain and mist on top of the area, strong winds and cags compulsory. Changed down to Short Blue as I didn't fancy being out for as long as yesterday! Pretty slow, partly because of visibility and partly due to a primary concern to get round in one piece Drifted off line on both #5 and #6 and lost 3-4 mins in total. Despite the slow run I actually quite enjoyed being out in shitty conditions - its been ages, and the low visibility certainly made it more challenging. 1129 ranking points - OK, but really want to aim for 1150 as a benchmark.

Event: Dales Weekend
 

Dales Weekend Day 1 - Malham Moor. Much more tough going than I remembered! Bit scrappy all round - lost ~90s on #1, ~2:30 on #5 and then have no idea what happened on #6 - very long leg and I just seemed to go to sleep. No mistakes but split was extremely slow. Second half of the course was better but was too indecisive on #11 and lost a couple of minutes due to a combination of indecision/poor route choice. During the bits inbetween I felt like I was running well but not consistent enough for a good result. Ranking points 1090 - lowest in a while.

Really good swim fit session at GL1.
