Sunday 9th December
London League Cyclo Cross Race - Stanmer Park, Brighton
1hr race
Conditions were extremely tough - two hills to climb on each lap - terrain was an extremely muddy field - stopped to unclog my bike - managed not to fall over, unlike many others - weather was very changeable - cold gusty winds, rain, and even a brief spell of sunshine.
Missed the start - I was in the toilet at the time (!!)- set off conservatively as I didn't see how I could catch the field that was already 1minute up on me.
Finished 6th woman out of 7. First woman was Katharine Mason (Sussex Nomads).

Saturday 8th December
2hr bike ride (28 miles) Crystal Palace - Beckenham - West Wickham - Layhams Lane - Skid Hill - Hessiers Hill - Beddlestead - Tatsfield - Biggin Hill - West Wickham - Beckenham - Crystal Palace.
Easy pace with 90rpm cadence
This was meant to be a longer ride but the weather was horrendously wet and windy. My hands got so cold and wet through my gloves that I could barely change gear so cut the ride short.
70min easy run - 2 laps around South Norwood lake (the tarmacced route), 1 lap of Crystal Palace Park. ~10km

Friday 7th December
15mins - skipping with rope (1200 turns)
(various moves - scissors, jumping jacks, classic boxers, high knee, one leg, learning double turns)
High intensity - pretty knackering.
It was just a quick blast at lunchtime on one of the rare dry days we've had recently !
