Training Log: Mark Two

Army Race at Hawley. Poor. Didn't cope with the scrotty veg at all well - loads of misses in the circle.

MDC run from near Nash Point. Down to the "beach" then along below the cliffs ( tide out) to Wych's point. Lovely bit of coast line - fast where sandy, but rocky in other parts . Back along the cliffs.

With Ben, Meg and Will from their place. UWE, back of Sainsbury's fields to Hambrrok and back via Frome and Oldbury court. Nice run.

MWOC local event at Hafod. Bit of a different day with Hafod looking magnificent withs its raging torrents and in its autumn regalia . Had to wait for the planner / organiser to get back from putting out, set out first and then had to "correct" some controls on the first loop which had been entrusted to one of the planners sons, so never felt like racing and the steep, brambly slope with out of date vegetation, didn't help. Starva's "elapsed time " of 1:47:21 " tells its own story! Still nice to get out . and good to see a few new families on and enjoying the Orange course.

In Aberystwyth for Huw and Charlies wedding, so took in the Park run. Nice surprise when we were joined by the groom and his best man..... tho both forgot their bar codes...

Very wnidy and wet and with 10 180 degree turns i guess it was never going to be quick, but even so I was a bit surprised how slow I was.

Sheltered run with Alice along the south side of the Ebbw and Sirhowy. Not much rain where we were but the rivers were raging torrents . So obviously things a bit different higher up the valley. I suspect decision to postpone the Mynydd y garn race was the right one.
