accidentally bought some x-talon 212s for £65
I hate it when that happens!

Ah I didn't realise anyone else from here was out there. I was on leg 3 acting as a lead weight for our nav expert. Got a bad lumbar pain last week so switched off our leg 2 thinking we'd be moving slower on the nav but apparently not.
Think we were 30-somethingth on our leg and 40-something overall, not bad for a southern team.

British Fell Relay Champs today, first race post ankle injury 3 months ago. 5 miles/2400ft or 8km 700m~
I ran leg 1 with the aim of beating the mass start at 75 mins.
Weather was poor, rain, fog and wind but not actually too cold, ran in a vest no bother. Didn’t push hard enough at the start so ended up further down the field than I’d hoped but felt steady on the climbs as a result and had a decent amount in the tank to descend well and pick up places (I even picked up a few places on the climb too). Came 127/250 - just out of the front half. Our men’s open B team came 140th~ so good enough for the team anyhow. Hr average was 173 so I was definitely trying either way.
Super happy that it went well and was injury free. Feeling a lot more psyched now for getting back into racing. Really felt the buzz of racing today. On the coach home drinking cans of gin and slim, good times!
Also accidentally bought some x-talon 212s for £65 and some of the Ron hill shorts I run in for 60% off. Don’t think you’ll ever be able to try shoes on and get them that cheap anywhere else!
