| Such a cracking day (again) so decided that a visit to the Peak was in order, headed out with Matt and started from Ladybower, ran across the dam and along the flat(ish) road on it's southern bank. That was all I was wanting as I felt pretty tired but Matt was keen for more so when we got to the far end and headed into the forest, a visit to Win Hill seemed inevitable. Still felt stiff but decided to pay Matt back by making him suffer a bit so cranked up the pace for about a km on the climb until he was well demoralised... (sorry for the pain Matt :) ). Beautiful but a bit busy up on top and worth the effort in getting out (avoiding project work more than I can afford) - even saw a WW2 bomber fly over Ladybower.

| Mountain Bike 1:45:00 [3] 25 km (4:12 / km) | |

| Had to get out in the sun so dusted off (literally) the mountain bike and headed for the woods with Matt. Headed down to Hillsborough and out up into Greno woods, did a loop there before crossing a doing a loop in Wharncliffe and then back through Beeley before the big climb back up to Crookes. Some great trails and a great time of year to cycle them, the forest was amazing with lush green beech leaves, fresh grass and bluebells. Way better than working on my special project!

| Went exploring up Loxley with Matt, found some nice bits of woods and plenty of contours, then got lost in Stannington on the way back. Still well beat from last weekend so was very slow, especially on hills. |

| Greno Woods, SYO Spring Cup. Wonderful evening, beautiful for running and the brambles and bracken weren't too bad yet. Ran steady without pushing and was happy to have quite a bit of strength after the weekend. |

| IOC Bere Island. Middle. Not the best course, had too much gratuitous climb and several dodgy control sites (the controls were in the right place (or nearly) but the map just wasn't accurate enough). Very happy to run quite well and keep going up the hills as I was pretty tired after yesterday. A few hesitations on the last two where the map was less than perfect so it was useful, having caught ndobbs, to let him do a bit of the work :). Ondrej was once again too strong finishing a minute clear, but I'm happy to finish the weekend without being beaten by any genuine Irish runners :) |
