Notes
Absolutely kicked my arse. After 2 miles I felt exhausted but carried on. Upon finishing I couldn't even stand up for what must have been 5-10 minutes.
I feel that before tackling distances over 5k I must begin to work on more tempo work and begin logging more miles. During the race my legs felt like they lacked energy and my breathing was extremely laboured.
My left ankle also caused me lots of trouble and is now swollen and bruised so I need to reassess my goals for the summer and start a clean slate by building a base for xc season once the damage has cleared up.
