I was planning on entering a X-Country Mountain Bike Race last Sunday organised by Gorrick MBC, they put on some great races and organise the Enduro event in May that I plan to use as a training ride. I ended up opting out of the ride for a couple of reasons: firstly I was pretty sore after rugby and secondly we had a heavy downpour on Saturday night and I didn’t fancy lugging my bike through the mud all morning. As it turns out, the race organisers cut short the route as the mud was causing problems so I feel vindicated in my laziness! Instead I dithered between swimming and a long run and ended up doing nothing, or shall I say “having a rest day”. We popped over to the pub for a drink at lunchtime and parked next to an old Ferrari, apparently it was worth over £3m and the owner is some kind of “Oilman”, glad to see some people are coping OK with the credit crunch. 
Missing out on the race did make me want to plan a few more over the next few weeks; Gorrick have one planned for the 8th Feb so I shall enter that hopefully. With a bit of luck it will have dried out by then and we can have a bit of fun.
Training Done: - Run: 30' Z2; Bike 30' Z3
