Running - Trail race (TourofTorpantau fell race) 1:16:11 [5] 12.16 km (6:16 / km) +669m 4:55 / km
shoes: X-Talon 190 (orange)[9.5]
3rd, but miles behind top 2 (they were 1:08 and 1:09). Exciting sprint finish to hold off the guy in 4th though. About 40 entrants.

I love fell races. They feel so much more 'proper' than anything else. And I was pretty pleased with this; i wouldn't have believed a few years ago that it was even possible to run up Cribyn without walking.
Weather was excellent if a bit chilly, so just took a bumbag.since it didn't have anything heavy in it, it didn't bounce around like they can.
One fall which snapped the magnifier off my compass and feels like it broke my toe (although it probably didn't) - could've been a lot worse as it happened 6 inches away from the edge...
But I didn't get swept away by anything and so it was definitely less dangerous than last time.
The Grizzly in 2 weeks - looking at photos of last year, no one is carrying anything. But it's 20 miles, and there's only water at the water stations.shouldn't they all have gels and things? I thought that if you were going to running for more than 90 minutes you should be taking nutrition.any advice?

A bit over cautious with the first 400 of the 2nd set, trying not to pace it like a 200 and went too much the other way. Rest ok.
EDIT: much faster than November doing the same session, but that was 'windy'.there was no wind tonight.

Skiing (Argentiere) 5:00:00 [3] 47.7 km (9.5 kph) +7316m
Sunshine all day. Up to the top of grand montets, 3300m or so. Stunning. Queue was tedious though.
Olly fell over into me and snapped my carbon fibre pole which is a bit annoying. I'm hoping he's going to offer to buy me another one.
