Event: 2014 Canadian Champs
 

COC Middle. 10th One Duck Lake. Operation WorldRanking begins successfully.

Looking at the splits, it might be thought that I got caught by Mike Waddington
and we gradualy collected people to the finish, until they legged it away on the run in. However, since 2 mins is a perfectly adequate start gap in a middle race, this could not possibly have happened.

I was leading this WRE for 9 seconds.

Amazing area, tough, tricky, but firm underfoot so able to progress OK. Lots of short legs, and good visibility. James won M16, Jane ran 20min/kms.
Hot. Like 30 degrees hot.

My challenge for this year is to run a few WREs, and maybe scalp a WOC athlete. Missed Eric by 23sec today :(

Middle M21E - Splits

Gentle MTB route in Whistler.

Lost Lake training with J&J. Bushy, steep and rocky.

Sprint training in liberton.

Briskish scuttle round the Hermitage

Commonwealth Games athletics. Late acquisition of tickets from Tim Smith.
Had heard dreadful stories of trains, Park and Rides, buses etc. So we drove to Hampden, parked half a mile away, and drove home. Nae bother.

Tremendous evening of athletics, superb women's 10k and 1500. Not quite the right angle to see the 110m hurdles (just beyond the finish line). Some other cool stuff, and some fat blokes running a 1500 much slower than the women.

15*200 in Liberton fields. Had intended to do 20, but knee was getting sore.

Arthur's Seat with Nick and SJ. Set out first thing, once they had recovered from travel and wedding late-night epics (i.e. 1p.m.).
Then dispatched J to Trossachs camp.
