This week’s yomp up the hill was tough. After a week of late nights it was a struggle to get up at 8 and drive over to Ashton Court and I was yawning as we went to the line. I only did 2 Body Pump classes this week, and was feeling it up the hill but managed to overtake Emma on the downhill and stayed in front of her for a vital point difference.

I was pleased to get round sub 25 minutes and finished 81st out of 217, was 12th lady and 4th in my age category. Training for the Ashton Court off-road 10k starts on Monday.
