Not unsurprisingly, my legs were a little sore today but, all things considered, not actually as bad as I feared. Obviously, me being me, I went up AC for our Sunday morning run anyway. I pretty much knew from the start that I would drop off the back quickly and, after about 3km, I did just that. I managed about 9km before heading down the gym for thirty minutes on the bike on an easy level.
More about yesterday, I have to say I can see myself doing more of these hikey type events - as opposed to straight races - where you can take a bit more time without pushing to the limits. I have my eye out for some longer stuff, say 40-50 miles. And the 'gladiators' were great. I took a bit of a gamble breaking them in yesterday but it paid off. I have no blisters, rubbing or chaffing anywhere, they fit snug as a bug in a rug and the grip they provided was brilliant - champion.
Thought for the day: Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
PS I've decided I should be up to running the Hogweed Trot tomorrow night (7pm kickoff), I might not be up to racing but it will be good training and besides, I haven't taken the cap-cam out for a while - be good to dust it off again.

Hi Mad Runner,
The Trot is flat and very fast.
PB potential....
If you do wear the CapCam let the Hogweeds webmaster know and he will put a link on our site for you.
Everyone enjoyed the video of the Hilly Half.
Have a good one.
