Sorry

Hi everyone,

OK, OK I know I’ve been rubbish at updating recently. I’m sorry about that. It turns out keeping a blog is harder work than I thought and I’ve had a lot on at work and with training recently so have not had as much time as I had hoped for it.

I ran to Ely from my house near Cambridge station this past Sunday, it’s a good 18 miles and goes through some lovely country side. I tacked a bit on the end and ran round the town for a bit to get my total training time up to three hours.

I also did the Great Manchester run last month. This a 10km, a distance I don’t do very often in races at least. Manchester is my home town so I always enjoy this race. This time I had my Dad and my youngest brother and a lot of friends from school doing it so it was a lot of fun. I had wanted to finish in under 45 minutes for this, which is the target I just missed out on last year. In the end I got a new PB of 00:43:12. I was fairly happy with this though I think I could have done better if I had rested up a bit more before the race and pushed a bit harder during it. Still there is always next year.

This weekend is the Mazda Blenheim triathlon, this was the first triathlon I ever did (last year) so I’m looking forward to going back. I’ll be in the Cambridge team again so hopefully we can beat the dark blues of Oxford. I’ll try and get a race report online when I can.

Till next time

Oli
