Thursday Intervals

I was on time and enjoyed the hot updraft from the vents at the meeting point.

Mutterings about something called the "Nationals" on Saturday meant the elite were looking for an easy session and not expecting many to turn up.

By the time we left there were only 10 of us and a suggestion of 12x 1on 30off, with 2 at 6. By the time we got to the canal most people were going to do their own thing so Karen, Steven and I were a wee group sticking to the original session at the back.

On the way out one of the bridges had water lapping at the edge of it as the canal seemed to be exhibiting symptoms of a neep tide. Infact, after a detour around the next bridge the problem became clear. Workmen had damed the canal and lift the water level higher with their blue tarpalin contraption. Three guys neck deep in the water building it. Lovely job.

By the time we returned to this spot it was ankle deep and the only way through was to go for it. Made rep 7 interesting. Kinnda ended up out of sync but still did all 12. Strugggled to get going on the first few and just about kept up with Karen's easy pace.
